but not more fun than sex in your NEW pool bar (this was a totally
different bar at the other end of the pool from the other bar, not a
"rebuilt" one) I have 2 now.

Was that from wild hogs having sex on your lawn?

Nope just a 68 year old geezer with a shovel and a wheel barrow.
That was really just the rough in. I came back later with a square
shovel and cleaned them up before I put in the steel and formed it up
for a stem wall.
It was about 2 yards of dirt by the time I was done.

Then the walls went up on the stem wall.

You could never get away with that up here.




I frequently stared in wonderment at the standards for commercial
construction in Florida. After Hurricane Andrew, I went down there with
a small team of engineers to help research and write a report. Everyone
expected to see jerry-built stick houses and apartments blown over, but
we were amazed at the number of large tip-up concrete structures that
were blown flat. Codes and inspections supposedly were tightened after
that, but I wonder. A decade later, I was out north of Clearwater out on
two public school sites and a generating plant under construction and
was again amazed by the engineers I was with who were pointing out
really serious code violations. The explanation was that "the fix" was
in. Probably still is, eh?
