I received the above message, sent as a comment to a Web Log post, which I declined to publish on the grounds it is simply an enquiry, not a comment and should really have been sent to me as an e.mail. However I publish it here because it is pertinent to this post and echoes the concerns of many Owners, as no actual work has been carried out on the pool for several days. As is often the case with these things rumours abound.

The truth of the matter is that I visited the offices of the Pool company today and spoke to the gentleman responsible for overseeing our pool re construction. I asked him several questions, foremost amongst them, "When will tiling of the pool begin?" The answer given was that the tiles had now arrived and workmen should begin laying them on Monday 30th June 2008.

"When will the pool be ready to use?" The answer was in about three weeks time, barring any unforeseen problems. This is in keeping with the original time-scale quoted of about the middle of July.

Discussions took place regarding possible designs in the tiling, testing of the pumping equipment, inspection of the filters, and training on how to use the pumping equipment properly once the pool is in operation. In response to the question at the start of this post, the answers would seem to be that the pool is unlikely to be in operation by the 7th of July, but hopefully it will be open by the 20th July however no absolute guarantee can be given at this time. Clearly it is in everyone's interest to open the pool as soon as possible, and all concerned are working hard to achieve this. A notice has been placed in the Office giving the latest information regarding the pool.

The next payment of Euro 5000 . 00, as per the contract was handed over and a receipt obtained, a copy of which is presented below.

I am in the process of trying to obtain quotations for insurance cover, both for the Swimming Pool and the Community areas of Mi Sol. When available, these will be presented to the Committee for their consideration.
