Surprise!

This morning Eric was not-so-delightfully surprised to come home from walking the dogs (yes, plural - we're dogsitting for my mom's dog!) to find construction vehicles parked in front of our house.

We had told the pool guy (PG) to have the concrete decking guy call us before doing any construction so that we could make sure to be home to supervise...However, PG failed to give the concrete guy our phone number and then left town on vacation. So the concrete guy and his crew showed up this morning and were planning on just constructing the concrete decking based on the plan that PG had given him. The plan that PG drew up as a sample for us and had never updated after we said "change this, this, and this".

If the concrete guys would've shown up just one hour later, we would've come home today to a pool with completely wrong concrete decking.

Here are pictures of the progress they've made so far. I can hardly believe that by the time I get home from work today, it's going to be finished!


Here's an outline of the decking around the deep end.

 
There will be a step up from the walkway that leads into the back of the house.

 
The area where the guy is walking with the wheelbarrow is going to be the sitting area.

I'll be posting pictures tomorrow of the finished product! (Well, finished decking.) After this, we'll just be waiting for the spring when they'll spray the plaster finish and fill this bad boy up!
