Year: 2012

Yep, that’s a whole bunch of hail all right..

I was out inspecting the pool (hopefully the final fill up is in progress) when the storm weather came in. That hail was pretty vigorous.

The Lanai screening seemed to handle it like a champ, but I’m sure there will be houses in the neighborhood that will need their roofs replaced.

You can see the hail has collected in the trough in the enclosure below. It looks to be about 2 inches thick of marble sized hail.

One good thing about the recent rains is that I have been able to note first hand items for my punch out list including some eaves trough /drainage issues.

2012 Home Renovations – Part 31 – The Pool Liner is In

We came home from a week in Puerto Rico to find some minor updates had been made and that our pool liner had been installed and water was trickling in.

The sandbags are to hold the liner in place until the water can come up to that level and do the job itself.

Also the Fastlane has been installed

Michelle has some concerns about the liner color, but you can already see how it changes as the water is added.

Here is a nice overview shot from the sheltered part of the patio.

The screens in all these pictures look blurry because it’s actually pouring rain as I take these shots.

My advice? Make this the last ride of your day. Otherwise your day is gonna be a lot shorter than you wanted….

I think I could have done this with no problem when I was in my 20’s. But my organs have enough “give” these days that I’d spend the rest of my day trying to shift them back into place.

Of course that won’t stop me from going on…  in a heartbeat!

One complaint about complying with the laws that accommodate the disabled is that they can make buildings unattractive and unwieldy.

You can either whine about the need or you can embrace it. I can’t say that the “unwieldy” aspect has been resolved but IMHO this bit of creativity certainly addresses the attractive part…
