Day 10 (July 16th):
Again the temperatures were predicted to be in the lower 90's so we jumped right in at 7 AM. We first installed the last deck board (closest to the pool) on all 16 sections that were completed.

Next we had to build the final 4 sections.

This was the final section. This needed to be cut to fit and, as it will cover the skimmer, it had to be custom designed.

Final measurements is being taken for the framing needed to carry weight on either side of the skimmer.

Here's the final framing design for this section.

As can be seen, the skimmer sets higher than what the final decked surface will be. When this section is decked a cover is to be designed for the skimmer.

We pulled the pump and filter unit away from the pool. The in line canister's height is such that it too would be above the decked surface.

More later on where this unit will finally set relative to the completed decks.

t's now about 1 PM. We're cooked! But before we leave we needed to provide access to the pool.

A ladder is set beside a decked section to provide egress from the pool. Just to the right you can see a 4x4 post that we mounted to the side of the deck. Part of the pool ladder can be set up beside it to provide temporary access to the deck.
