We're closing in on the end of week two with this project. It's beginning to take shape but the surprises also keep coming. Today we were informed that we probably should have a new pool liner - our old one is almost 20 years old. The one we have might last a while longer (with some patches) but now would be a good time to change it while everything else is torn apart. It will look nice to have a new liner with everything else new. But still unexpected. I don't have any pictures but the electricians also arrived this week and have been busy doing stuff in the basement. They're running lots of new wiring and installing a new box to upgrade the electrical from 100 amp to 200 amp. Here are some pictures taken yesterday.

Rick, from Holland Home Leisure, inspects the pool steps (that were thankfully fine). However, the coping (the white edging that holds the liner in place) is old and needs to be replaced along with the liner. In the background and next to the pool you can see the framing for the deck as it begins to take shape.

Here is the first beam going into place that will form the framework of the cabana. The actual Fiberon decking hasn't arrived yet but all of the framing needs to happen before we're ready for the decking so we still have several weeks ahead of us. Matt is also going to replace that old door on the pump house. That little Rhododendron squatting in the corner is actually going to be  inside the new fence - tucked in that corner. We're hoping it survives all the construction going on around it as it will be a great feature in that corner
