The Pool Construction - Day 3
Thursday 8th April, 2010

Location: Normandy, France

On the pool day, it was a calm day, but the activity was going to be on the gas tank side. They were going to come with a new provider's gas tank, and remove the old one, and in the afternoon, fill up the new one (we're on empty now, and need gas for heat, cooking and water).

The company doing the work arrived promptly, and within  a minuet said they couldn't do it, since they had brought a waaay to big digger, and the space for the tank is too small. Problem was that this was already told and written down, but someone in the process forgot to tell the folks who do the work. So they arrived from Paris for nothing, and can only come in a few weeks. So in the mean time, no gas.....

This morning the lads arrived, and setup some laser measuring equipment, and some cement mixing.

The were cementing blocks on which the pool walls are going to rest, but the blocks have to be 100% water level!

You can see the size of the actual pool..

They also increase the trench for the pipes going to the shed where the equipment will be.

Tomorrow the walls get installed.
