Here is a close up of the tile we picked with the coping. Right now everything is a bit dusty. Once they rinse it off and seal the coping it will be darker. Also you can see the ledge that was made by raising the coping. In the future we will do a stone overlay. In order to do that they needed to raise the coping, thus all the cement they brought in.

Measuring tile
At the end of the day yesterday they measured for the tile and layed some out. The hole where the window used to be is now filled.

Coping almost finished
Everything is moving along. The coping is almost done and next is tile. We are also having a step put in the hot pool. It was already quite a large step to get into and now it is even worse with the coping being raised. So this will help.

One more day
They should be done with demolition today. I don't know if they will get to the next thing or not. They brought in tons of cement mix so my guess is that will be something they do.
John mentioned yesterday that it must be unpleasent for me to be in the house with all the noise. It's loud there is no denying that but it does not seem to bother me. I find that rather odd. Maybe it's because I really want a new pool?

In other news
The boys last day of school is Friday the 13th. This week Derek has 3 field trips. He is walking with his class to Dartmouth, his new school next year, a GATE sponsored science cruise in the bay and on Friday, swimming and sliding at Raging waters. Max is also going on a GATE field trip. It is not clear where they are going. At first they had decided on the children's Museum but i think they changed the trip. Not sure where.
The leak under the house is fixed. I called the city and there is a program we can apply for to get back some money.
Our cats are all sick? Well 2 of them are. Lots of throwing up :( Not sure if it's all the construcion in the back or what. They are eating the same food. I did notice some grass in one of the piles.

Hitting some snags
Demo is moving slow. They are having to chip off not 1 but 2 layers of plaster. The last plaster job was not great so we could not just sand blast and plaster. But we knew this was a possiblity so it's not a surprise. Also our first selection of tile is not in stock so we are looking at tile again. Tonight or tomarrow Dane is going to bring by a chunk of coping so we can make sure we like the new tile up next to it.
