The backyard is shaping up and we are Swimming! |
||
 Closed in the under eave areas on the sunroom. Need to call to get the custom sized windows for this area made and shipped (part of the sunroom kit). |
 The sunroom space is very pleasant. Even early this spring, we had a few very toasty days! We put the sun shades over the roof panels this weekend and now it is very pleasant. |
 From the outside - the sunroom is big (36 x 14), but very usable space. The pump shed is to the left. |
 Even with the pool, there is lots of room for plants, other exercise equipment, and multimedia equipment. |
 And there is still some backyard left. Actually planted a few thing this weekend in the raised beds. |
|
 Looking good! More wainscoting on order - should arrive this week. |
 Used a couple hatch lifters that are normally used on hatchback cars to help lift the lid. Now it is a one-handed lift rather than a two person lift. |
 All the mechanicals are working and leak free. Left room in the shed for the sunroom "winter blankets", which I doubt we will ever need in sunny California. |
| The electrical connections are made and the pump has oil. The water is balanced, sanitized (I knew that degree in Chemistry would come in handy some day), and heated to a nice 82 degrees. |
 The "Front" of the pool with the cover in place. |
 The hydrotherapy jets in action. Very soothing. |
 The current is running. We had to turn the maximum current down at the pump - it was a bit strong for someone who hasn't been swimming regularly for 20 years. |
 Another action shot. |
 The business end - the swim mirror (to keep an eye on form) and the deep end of the pool are clearly visible. Next - action shots. |
