Doing an 18 inch dark grey concrete surround with cantilever coping and the rest just broom finished concrete. They’re cutting the concrete to look like concrete pavers. We didn’t want stamped because it’s too slippery.
Will ultimately look something like this layout wise.

Vinyl lined. Interior steel steps with concrete bottom and deep end sides. We’re doing a liner called Shelter Cove from Merlin.

In my opinion, we should not be celebrating foreign foods like poutine in these you-ninety-states.
In other news, the insurance co just paid out the price of a VERY nice bicycle for fiberglass damage I didn't know was there until we asked someone to fix the gelcoat. The area in question happens to have the forestay chainplate bolted through it, making it all the more interesting. I am not the greatest boat handler in wind and current, but I have no recollection of hitting a dock head-on, let alone with sufficient force to do that, and I wonder if it goes all the way back to the silly original owners, or even a defect in the layup. Anyway, the adjuster said crash damage and her word is good enough for me in this case. Fortunately, no claims in the last five years, so they won't raise our premium.

Addiction Pills and Ills: My metastatic prostate cancer in my lymph nodes has shown growth over the last year especially since Christmas. Starting Xtandi soon but I have to go to class and get eddicated first. I’ve never heard of anyone having to go to class before starting a pill.

Thanks- it’s taken a year to get to the point of breaking ground. This company has been awesome to deal with, they’re being exceptionally neat, have been careful around some plants and bushes we don’t want disturbed and really helpful in getting us through the process.
i guess they better be for what it’s costing.
For equipment we’re doing a variable speed pump, cartridge filter, salt cell and heat pump. I didn’t do automation because 90% of the equipment is connected to WiFi anyway.

Class sounds like a good thing for a big time drug like that. There's the opportunity for visuals, the info can be standardized, and it's harder to tune out than a 5 min lecture on side effects from a provider. I also think the community part is helpful for some people. Lots of isolation out there.

It does look to be pretty effective, from what I saw at a glance. Good luck!!
