I found uncle Dave

Just got a call from Steven 6:15pm, Sunday, July 22. He will be here in about an hour. Not sure how long he can stay, but at least now we know where he is.
No news from Dave yet. I don't know if anyone else has been able to track him down. It will be a very long adventure for him by the end of it. It would be nice if shows up some time next week when I actually have a pool. Candice and I went to the beach today, the weather was great. Of course, it couldn't be like this last week when we really needed it.
Funny story about the beach. It was starting to get crowded so Candice and I thought it best to start packing up our stuff before it became overcrowded, and next to us came these two guys,
set up their giant size umbrella, and we looked at each other and said, oh my god, look at the size of their PICNIC BASKET. Yeah, that's what we noticed. We started laughing and I'm sure they had no ideal why. As we were leaving, wife and kids showed up to eat all that lovely food.

Where's My Pool

Day one. Nothing happened. The deck guy could not get the machine to remove the sod, so he will have to come back tomorrow morning. So that puts the pool guy a day behind as well. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Where's my pool, or at least my back yard.

Day two. The deck guy finally shows late this afternoon, but now the pool guys can't come in until tommorrow. Already two days delay.


Day three and everythings looking up. I'm told that the water guy will be arriving at 4pm to fill my pool. That gives it two days to warm up before the last day of my vacation.
Day 3 continue, well one of the guys did not show up today, so it looks like another days delay.


Day 4, it's raining, it's winding, so no work today.


Day five, looks nice doesn't it, but it was raining this morning and now that the sun is up, it's too winding to finish the job.

Day 6 and hey look, there's my pool, or at least parts of it, as you can see, no rain today, but then again it is saturday, so I am not expecting anyone to show up today to try to complete this mission.


Look at this, friends sitting on my front steps.

I think I will do the neighbours next. One a week that should get me through the summer.

This is Jennifer from work and her boyfriend Paul.

Hello Everyone left in Blogland
Well I no longer have to worry about my dilema of landscaping for the back yard. Garry took care of it for me. We are getting a 27' above ground pool and a wrap around deck which will add another 3-5 feet depending on the front or sides. So there's no room left in the back yard for anything else.
It is going to be great. It gets really humid and sometimes unbearably hot in the summer, so this will take care of that. The guy was suppose to be here this morning to remove the sod and lay the gravel, I haven't seen him yet. I had to leave for about half and hour and when I came back there was a dolly and a wheel barrel in the back yard, but no guy. Hopefully he shows up some time today. Anyway, go other things to do. Got to go. Later
