Construction

Construction of our pool started 7 weeks ago, and judging by the speed of the team of men it will be another 7 weeks before we get to swim in it!  They drive all the way over to our place from Mareeba - 120 km round trip, and work for just a couple of hours and then they are gone.  I'm just pleased that we have a written quote otherwise it would be doing my head in.  We told them on Friday that it has to be finished in two weeks for the Labour Day weekend but we'll see.  Their work has not been amazing and we have had to make them re-do sections that were just not acceptable.
On the other hand we have our builders who started this week, on Monday, just like they told us they would.
They start work each day between 6.30 - 7.00 am and work through until 5.00 pm, only stopping for a half hour lunch break. They are incredibly fast and the rotunda went up in no time at all.  They will have the floor down tomorrow and the roof goes up on Tuesday.  How good is that!
It has been very noisy and I had forgotten how much I dislike renovating.  The house is full of a fine dust that no amount of vacuuming will remove.  Ahhh......breath.....and think of all the enjoyment this area is going to bring us in years to come.
Some quick photos that I took this afternoon on my phone.  Apology's for the tree shadows :-)
