This morning we had a busy work site! At one point, I counted 12 men working on three different jobs! Pax and I got there later than we had been, and could see the crane over the house. He thought it was pretty cool, but we had to stay inside for safety reasons:-)

Pat moved the hot tub off the deck to put on the screened porch down below using the crane. He also used the crane to move the steps so that they now come off the side of the deck, and won't obstruct the view from the hot tub. The pool deck is almost ready for concrete, too! The electrician comes tomorrow to do the wiring for the lights, ceiling fan, and the hot tub. We should be swimming by Monday (our furlough day at school)!

My cousin Tammy came in from Texas yesterday to visit with us. She has spent her whole day helping manage the pool construction, too! We're taking her to Monterrey's tonight, though! Yum!
