Is that a pool cabana?

Another update to keep our demanding fans happy! Here's what we accomplished today. We set all four walls of the pool house on the slab. We still need to finish sheeting and placing rafters, but this is a pretty good start. Since we were waiting on the pool contractors to finish up the concrete we had pre-built the walls of the pool house. So, with the help of a dolly, Kenny and I set the back and left (west) walls and anchored them to the slab. Then with some help from neighbors we were able to set the right (east) and front walls. The kids helped to anchor those, and with all bracing still in place, well pick up where we left off in the am. On tap for tomorrow is to finish sheeting and top plates, then the rafters. Hopefully we'll be to a wrapping/felting stage soon, which means that the electrical panel in the pool house comes next.






Over the weekend, Kenny and I trenched and ran underground conduit and wire to the pool house and underwater light. Temps were above 90 and humidity was off the charts, but we got it done. Now we need to place the panel and get it wired up and rough inspected. Temps this week are supposed to be lower with "normal" humidity, so we should make some progress.
Pool guys are supposed to be finishing the bottom of the pool with vermiculite and sand, and then installing the liner. More pics to follow!
