Finally got the decking done! Hopefully on sat we can move the outdoor kitchen to its new home and get the grill installed. Water is still crystal clear and we are loving it! Plan on getting 5-6 pallets of sod sat morning and get that laid and then we will start on the landscaping.

As for the shop, materials will be dropped Monday and the building will start on Tuesday. I am very excited!

Thanks. It was solid woods when we bought. I cleared it myself with a Dozer and trackhoe. Took out all the pines on the interior and left hardwoods. Only pines are along my property line buffer area and a few along the creek I haven't cut yet.

We need to get it mowed, but the rain we have had washed out my 8.5'x20' culvert that allows me to easily get to the back of the property. Always something.

deck came out looking good, sod laying will be fun... we did 3 pallets and its more than what i would want to do again lol... but it will definitely change the look around the pool.,, I'm in on the new building update aswell..

I'm not looking forward to it. Did 10 pallets by myself one day when my helper had something come up. It was no fun in August. 5-6 shouldn't be to bad. Might talk some guys I work into coming and helping but I hate to ruin their day too! I figure using the tractor I can get the pallets about where they are needed and hopefully it'll go faster! Word on the street is rain could be coming at the first of the week so that'll help it take for sure

Pool is looking great TA is 20 so I'll be checking the Ph again adjust as needed to 7.2 ish and I guess start dumping in some baking soda. Waiting a another week till I test cya. Just letting the tabs add it slowly as were easing into pool ownership.

Now for the shop! Builder will be getting in Monday afternoon. Seems like a great guy and will be staying at our place in a camper. Gonna see if I can talk them in to framing up my pool equipment cover while they are here too. Getting very excited to get this finished. Pricing led 4' shop lights and it's looking like it'll be pretty bright in there when I'm done!

Barn materials arrived later than planned but builder jumped up it quick. Holes were dug yesterday morning with material arriving around 4pm. They had all the poles set for the building last night. This is where we are today at 5p. They are kicking butt. Picked up another door. I'm using doors like some use Windows.

Heres the latest greatest specs

52x84x15

enclosed
40x60

40x24 gable extension
12x84 lean to

3-12x12 doors

going to frame and plumb in a bathroom/changing area for pool guests. Also going to use the lean-to as extra sq ft for pool parties!

Hahahaha. That's the spirit. I'm waiting to get an earful from my bride in the morning. We are both working tonight and she missed a lot of today. When she saw the posts up yesterday she asked me what in the world was I building and why was it so big. I only need half that space! I tried to tell her I showed her how big it was and she obviously wasn't paying attention

I need you in my corner! She can't complain to much because she held the 300' tape when I was laying the building out. I would ask her opinion and she would just say she didn't care and whatever I wanted. Once she sees how handy the lean-to will be for storage and party space she's gonna be asking why we waited so long to build it!

I agree! Give me an outdoor bathroom and changing area, and I'm in for whatever you want! Great pictures! Did you ever say what you'll be doing in that huge shop???

I do a bunch of metal work and my wife really wants her garage back. Like most here we have a bunch tied up in vehicles and I'm tired of seeing them get baked in the Texas sun everyday. Our tractor is already getting some interior parts bleached and its 18 months old

You are going to LOVE having all of those doors. No moving anything to get to something else! I see LOTS of cabinets and shelves!

hopefully it'll take a while to fill up. Builder and I had a laugh earlier. He was asking where I wanted the man door. The place I showed him was next to a post. If you opened the door, it'll only open 90 degrees before hitting a wall. He said we can put it there but if your carrying anything big thru the door, it might make it harder. I looked at him funny when he realized that there is 5 other big doors to use

they almost have the roof on and are working on the wainscoat
