August 1st and 2nd ... What a difference the last 2 days have made. It is like I've seen another company, the company I contracted with at the beginning.
To my surprise, upon returning from work on Tuesday, I found progress. People had come, the trench had been dug, dirt had been moved, the skimmer was in place and the plumbing on the pump had started.
While the trench didn't follow the path I had outlined, I was so happy with the unexpected progress, that I'll live with it. When we do the addition, we will have to replumb the lines. Oh well, a small price to pay, and one that won't happen for a while.
Wednesday turned out to be just as good, a crew appeared in the morning, new people, one's I hadn't seen before. They continued with the work around the pool and with the plumbing at the pump.
It turned out that this was the "inhouse" crew, and that they did the work the day before and would be the ones completing the pool. Very nice, incredibly polite and appeared to know their trade.
By end of day on Wednesday, the pool was completely filled, the ladder (temporary) in place, the dirt to "deck" level and the trench and plumbing almost complete. They left at 5p, with about 1 hr of work left.
All communications they had was with Wes, which turned out not to be the Wes I was dealing with (aka Junior), but Wes, the owner. Man am I happy. Note to self, in the future, always deal with the owner. Don't know what happened to get the crew involved or Wes (owner) involved, but I like it, and the progress shows.
On a side note, they had to change some of the plumbing that Marty did, specifically around the deck jets, so it was a good thing they came. As to make the changes later, might have meant breaking up concrete.
So, about 12 hrs of work performed in the last 2 days.
About 1 hour of plumbing, the electrical (coming on Friday) and we can start the pool.
Wow, we may actually be swimming this weekend, how the clouds have cleared. They have truly redeemed themselves, now let's hope we can keep this going until the end.
Once the pool is online, I think it is only the deck left.
Last 2 days, I love this company, it is what I was promised, fast, courteous, and straight forward.
