Bridge to cross

First of this week was to get the pump/machine room all wired up properly.

All wired up

With that out of the way I powered up the heater pump.
Now Murphy's Law proves itself yet again. A few days after having powered up the pump I hear a faint sad sounding beep coming from the machine. The display says "EE2", which according to the manual is due to low pressure in the refrigerant system. Further on the manual states "Contact your dealer". Contacted Miamipool and immediately got the response that this was a fault that needed repair and this would of course fall under warranty for the product. So what do you do, it's nobody's fault but never the less it's extremely annoying.
A repairman is scheduled for early next week to have a look at the heater pump.  
So until then we'll just have to live with the temperature that mother nature decides to provide us with.

Now turning our attention to start laying the deck. As mentioned earlier our plan to re-use the same deck boards on the left side of the pool were foiled due having the move the pool a bit. The boards then became too short to reach all the way to the pool.
So we decided to re-use them on the deck connecting to the house.

The picture below is very typical. Me and my father-in-law are working and the kids are running around, hopping in/out of the water. It's after all keeping some 19/20 degrees celsius without heating.

Playing/workgrounds

We started to lay the deck from the house towards the pool and the sauna. This way we connect the holy triangle house-pool-sauna allowing to walk between these without touching the ground thus not dragging so much muck into the pool.

The deck from the house was extended on the same level taking the step a little further from the house. This gave a neat little area where one can sit and ponder.
Having laid the boards they were all cut into shape in one go to get a clean/neat cut.

For the first time ever one can now get from the house to the sauna without touching the ground.

It really gives a coherent feeling that it all belongs together.

Sunday morning, sun's shining. Looks like this a good day to work.

The view from the house towards the pool is starting to take shape.

Killer view?

Progress with the deck is somewhat slower than normally. There's not a straight angle so everything has to be measured and individually cut. Never the less we make progress.

The sauna is completely connected to the deck. We even managed to place the shower. Of course we have a shower, how could we else call it a waterland? There's a 20l water tank in the shower allowing the sun to warm the water. There's also a tap allowing you to get a proper mix of cold/hot water.

Shower coming up,

The most time consuming job so far has been to cut the boards connecting to the stairs. I'd rather spend a few hours more to do a proper job than to regret it for all the years to come.

Precision cut

Final view for this week. House and sauna are completely connected to the short end of the pool.
The holy triangle is complete....

It's been a very hot Sunday, almost too hot to work but this time around we have a pool to take a quick dip in. Believe I've been in the pool 4 times on the Sunday..so far.
The sauna is now warmed up so I'll treat myself to a sauna both on Saturday and Sunday.
Just because I can and deserve it.
