Pool Blogging! – Part Three

The big push is on to get the Exxon-Mobil House done by the end of next week, but the pool is only a part of it. A key visual element in the design, sure, but there’s much more, like the tin panel on the front, under the eaves, in the kitchen. It’s all covered in tin, people!

In the desert!

Regardless, everyone is feeling the crush, even the job superintendent, who arrived at the site very early this morning. I presume it was long before he’d had his first cup of coffee because he did something they teach you never to do when you’re in Big Time Job Superintendent School…

“For the love of God, don’t run over the fire hydrant!”

The cops were there, as were the usual suspects from from the water department. One to work, one to talk about it, and three to watch.

While the old hydrant seemed unharmed, the water guys replaced it anyway…

…yielding our quote of the day. Dad and I were chatting with the homeowner’s boyfriend, who said that the homeowner was kind of happy about the new hydrant because “the color coordinates so nicely with this [laundry room] building!”

Just makin’ lemonade!

Your pal,
