pool progress

our pool installer came and put in some hours

I helped with the large piece

stainless steel prop

saturday morning kat and I spread a yard of soil in anticipation of one last pallet of zoysia

my trench for the electrical conduit to the garage had run into a large boulder.  I spent hours trying to dig it out.  finally I figured I needed to try and bust it out.  my tools included a hammer drill with a masonary bit, BFH, makita grinder with safety removed and a 7.5 inch masonary blade, some chisels and a whole lotta sweat

 

it finally cracked, I was about to crack myself.  even in two pieces I couldn't get the big part out since I couldn't get under it.

I resolved the issue by drilling one last hole and hammering a porsche head stud into it.  I attached a strap to that so I could pull it up and out! 

needed to cool off

kat planted and carefully placed stones
