The Building of Greuel Manor: Slowly but surely

Progress has continued over the last several days but nothing too noticeable. They've spent a lot of time hooking up the pool cover and fine tuning the adjustments. It is mostly done, just having problems with the sensors that tell it when to stop when it is getting close to the end. Hope to have that fixed next week. I also have a problem with the handle. I installed it but they put the holes in the concrete in the wrong location and the cover will not close all the way. I was not happy about this at first, but after some time, cooled off and I think we've come up with a solution. We can plug the existing holes with a stainless steel plug and it looks like they are going to be able to install a bracket on the side that will hold the handle and allow the cover to slide underneath it. The guys came Friday to repair the irrigation system. I think it is back to working because the water is turned back on, I have many new sprinkler heads flagged in the yard and have no water leaks. They did have to run some new lines but since it took less than a day to fix, I'm thinking and hoping that bill won't be too bad and there was no major damage done. Other than the few things left with the pool, sod and a little more landscaping is all that's left. Once that's complete, the fence can be finished.... and done! I did get to go for a swim a few times this weekend and everything is great! I'm getting ready to take off on another adventure so no posts for a while... it sure would be great to come home to a completed project!
