Hurricane A Comin' - Pool Finished Just In Time

I may have been wrong.  It looks like Hanna is going to pass by us on it's turn to the north.  It's very humid right now even though we are still in the mid-80s F.  They say around 5 p.m. we should start seeing some action.  It was just two weeks ago we upgraded our home insurance and doubled the value.  Everything included it was $105 USD for the year.  That's really nothing for the coverage and peace of mind. 

The pool was finished on Thursday afternoon and we began filling it last night.  It still has a way to go but if there is no storm we can enjoy the water tomorrow.  

I think the blue light at night is pretty cool!  I was looking for a "pool" LED light bulb.  The bulb by itself is $150 USD.  Forget that.  I bought a 95 peso blue LED bulb like we had before.  It will last for a few years.  When they opened up the light housing it was dry and dusty so I'm not concerned.  The pool business is a real money maker.  Our highest estimate for grouting the pool, repair and painting the lip, new deck covering (KoolDeck) was $3500 USD.  We got Manny, Moe and Jack and they did it for less than $1000 USD.  Tile is tile and grout is grout.  The KoolDeck does take expertise and the guy who did it is very experienced but doesn't have the smarts to form his own business.  We got him from a worksite where our kitchen remodeler was working.  Our homeowner's policy covers accidents so it was all good.
