The Countdown Continues

Well, we didn't get our gas line installed today (Wednesday), though they say it will happen Thursday.

We do have progress on the new fence. The posts are in -- and the chain-link should follow on Thursday.

We do have a working phone line and internet connection.

We do have all the bathhouse partitions installed. Water is running in the facilities. Wiring is being strung. Shower curtains are on the way.

Inspections are now set for Friday. That means there's essentially no margin for error. Perfection would be lovely, but it's not a reasonable expectation for a project as large and as involved as this one. So we will hope for the best.

Preparations aren't simply confined to the pool house.  We're excited that Ethan Hutton will be our manager this year. He's meeting Thursday with our lifeguard crew, and we've talked about setting a welcoming tone for the pool this year. The guards, of course, are responsible for enforcing the rules that keep everyone safe at the pool. And we all need to help the guards do their jobs, and to be mindful of the rules. With courtesy on both sides of this equation, Daleview should be a place to relax and enjoy the summer.

Whether the pool is swimmable or not, all members are welcome at Daleview this weekend. We're planning a barbecue on Sunday and other activities throughout the weekend. We have a lot to celebrate! Watch for an email with the details.
