Hey gang!
New twist to the pool build today. It seems Paddock Pools here in AZ was bought out by Cameo Pools, also here in AZ. Met our new construction supervisor today, right before the city inspector came to inspect the gas line install. Had to laugh as the inspector, Michelle, commented how long this was taken. Yup, I agree! She's been here so much we know each other by name.
This new guy stated our build was farther along than some of the other builds, and that the next job is to install the tile. He also said he would send a crew out to clean up our yard. I told him I am more concerned with filling the friggin trenches that surround three sides of the house. Taking the garbage out is an adventure, especially now since there is a deeper trench in front of the garbage cans, there is a trench under the main gate door, and a dirt pile in front of the secondary gate. Oh, and I now have two drip line leaks.
Anyway, he will be ordering our equipment so that stuff can be installed sometime. He did say they will be moving on our build very soon, but he was sent out today to inspect all builds that are in progress to see what they are dealing with.
I'm now receiving heat from some saying I have not been a squeaky wheel in handling this pool build. They certainly have been slow, but I cannot accuse them of "abandonment" as they did show up once in a while to make some progress. We signed no performance clause, so I have no legal grounds for the length of time. I would never dream of doing this to someone else, especially if they did not ask me for my opinion.

And one of my critics is 2400 miles away!
