How on earth do you keep a palm tree alive in Canada?
That's one heck of a project! I can't wait to see the finished product.
That Palm tree was part of the Hubby's Birthday present, along with the thatch umbrella. He sacrificed our winter trip to Jamaica this year as we are taking our 5 yr old Grand-daughter to Florida for a couple weeks this summer, so thought I would bring a little reminder of our favorite place in the world home to him and create our own little oasis in the back yard Hubby and I figured we might just as well get started on the deck rail while we wait. We have gone just about as far as we can go until the rest of the deck boards are put down. Just a couple more 'half' sections to install, then I guess we will start on the pool fencing around the perimeter of the pool.
) Regardless of the type of pool (or pond) more than 24" in depth in our community, there are minimum requirements for fencing enclosures, etc. All fence structures require a permit and approval from the local building inspector.We had all of the required line locates performed before excavation, and a visit from the building inspector to inspect our plans and ensure we are building within the guidelines. Although minimum code is 60", the inspector allowed a variance for our deck rail which is coming in at 48" at its highest point, as he was satisfied the steps we were by adding a self latching locking gate would be sufficient. The steel fence that is being installed around the entire perimeter will be 60" with a 67" locking gate (in the same style as the one on the deck) at the far end of the pool where we have a stairway down into the "trench". The electrician secured all of his own permits and will be required to arrange for his own electrical inspection once his work is complete (all of the plans were reviewed with the inspector as well).
Awesome that we won't have to struggle through the process ourselves. One last call to the electrician to make the final connections, to the 'crew' to lay the last of the deck boards and maybe, just maybe we will be in the pool by the weekend. I assume that there wont be any way to keep our Grand-daughter from taking the plunge. She was so disappointed that it wasn't ready when she came last weekend that she and her little cousin, whom she brought along for a sleepover, insisted on putting on their bathing suits and going for a "swim" in the Jacuzzi tub instead. 
Hang in there, your pool is still going to be all kinds of awesome... Wow Ariel68, that was a lucky catch... It sucks he put 9 screw holes in your pool..... :-( You should be able to pick up a vinyl patch from somewhere close.... I'm so sorry you're having such hassles.....
I've already cut two holes in my pool to remove those stupid plastic tube like things, and installed bigger suctions and returns, and I've got the skimmer to go, so I'm feeling pretty prepared to cut it....
