Christmas Day


It was a bit different this year, the same tree, but with two of the team overseas it was a little bit low key, not at all the same, missed them very much but I guess we had fun, but no stockings, as that's Colleen's job and I couldn't find them anyway. The girls enjoyed it and the BBQ roast turned out real good, nice crackling.

The End to a Great Day


And so ends the day, sunset Putaruru style.

The After Match Function


As with all good working bee's there has to be an after match function, so as per custom the workers were shouted a few beers as thanks for the hard work.

Just Add Water

Now just add water, thanks to the local Fire Brigade we were able to borrow a pipe stand and a couple of lengths of hose and the pool was filled in no time, now just a few cosmetic bits and pieces to do to complete the job, looking good.

The Day Progesses

Getting there the pool is taking shape, first the wall, then the sand and now the liner, then we discover that there are some crucial parts missing, Ash and Mark were off to Hamilton to get the neccessary parts which put us 2.5hrs behind schedule.

Progress

The pool is starting to take shape although not without a few difficulties, as the old pool was imperial and the new pool is metric which meant it was slightly bigger, but with a bit of jigging around it was made to fit.
