Pool Progress: Inspection and Table Install

Tuesday, September 25th

The inspector was here today... better (a day) late than never, I guess. He was a bit more thorough this time. Mike, our superintendent, was here to talk with him while he was here. It took so much longer than the first time I was starting to get nervous. But, in the end, it was good news... we passed our final inspection!

Unfortunately, it was too late in the day to start the pool finish so that will have to wait until tomorrow. I don't know if he didn't want any further delays or what, so Mike installed our table top himself. [Interesting side note: Mike is from Milwaukee and we spent a few minutes discussing Monday night's messed up Packer game. He was so mad about it he broke his cell phone throwing it out his back door! Just want all you GB friends to know the out-of-state fans suffered too!]

The table installation was pretty straight forward. They just had to cut off the rebar that was sticking out of the post.

And then drill holes for the bolts that were pre-attached to the table. The only tricky part was the special (super strong) adhesive they use to glue it to the post only gives you a couple minutes to get the table top in place.

 They did a dry run first, then put down the adhesive and put it in place.

Except for one little chip around the umbrella hole it looks great. We'll be mentioning that. I don't think they can do anything about it at this point but maybe they can give us a credit or something.

 Here's a closer shot of the top. It's white with blue, brown, and grey speckles.
