Bobcat Wars—11:11 AM
Pool construction continued this weekend with the rental of a pair of mini Bobcats, with which we collected all the dirt that had been dug out of the pool from its giant, towering piles and brought it back around the edges of the pool to properly grade the lawn.
This became an exhausting process, making a quick dip in the pool at lunch a refreshing and welcome break. (Also refreshing: semifinal and championship victories for Duke during our lunchtime ACC Tournament.) Despite the soreness and exhaustion, it was all worth it when we could relax and take in the final product.
Abby and Laney relax by the pool.
Of course, nothing's ever final. We'll be laying sod around three sides of the pool on Tuesday, and mortaring in the brick patio in the coming weeks. But at least the final product is beginning to take shape. Mission Accomplished!
