penguin chick pictureHI EVERYBODY!!

Nothing really changes here. We don't get a lot of new construction and we don't have a lot of old construction either. Seems Phil found some changes being made around the pool area. Whatever that is.

See you later!

Most of the chaise lounges are protected by rather bland white umbrella-type coverings.
While we were there, about a half dozen or so thatch-roof coverings went up.
That work is documented here.
Any good contruction job requires an overall supervisor.
As well as a ground foreman.
It takes about 24-48 hours for the post cement hole to cure.
First step is installing the superstructure frame.
Once that is finished...
putting the thatchwork cover can begin.
The cover is actually
about 4 or 5 layers
going from bottom to top.
It's like putting a puzzle together
without being able to see
where all the pieces go.
The final part seems to take longer
than you might expect.
Putting the cap piece on.
A job well done.
