Pool Cover....follow up Project

Most important, in order to continue with our backyard project, was to get the tiling done. Now, that we have finished the first part the second step has been planned and organised. So today, we are waiting for the delivery of our pool cover.

Originally, we should have received the pool cover a day earlier but something got mixed up and so we were delayed by one day. Anyway, in times of COVID-19 everything is a bit different and we are just happy that to pool cover has been dropped off at our premises.

A dear friend has given us a hand to assemble the parts and place it into the rails. To finish it off we got rid of the protective film, fixed the tree parts and were in awe how great it actually looked. 

The pool cover has many benefits in regards to child protection as it is lockable so no one can go in unallowed. It also is beneficial in using less chemicals as well as less dirt gets into the pool and of course it prolongs the season as it keeps the water temperature.

Easter Project 2020 – Tiling the Pool Area

It seems as if one project just finished and the next one is already in the pipeline. You might be right about that but, we still have plenty of time to relax in between projects. Also, we enjoy it very much progressing bit by bit. I can truly say this pandemic and the restrictions that come with it are playing in our hands. 

#StayHome. Save Lives

That's what we are doing, and we are not bored of each other, let alone bored at all. So, that's why we decided to start on the laying the tiles at the swimming pool area. All the materials had been delivered. We were just hoping for great weather and off we go...let's do it. 

On a side note the wall at the back to our neighbour Tobi also plastered this one on Saturday morning. Again, I'm totally impressed and overwhelmed with my "Bubselbär" and the passion he shows when he is at it.

Happy Easter 2020

Wishing all of you a Happy Easter and hope you stay safe and sound. It appears that this Easter is very different to all others due to the Corona Virus Pandemic. 

We are not getting together with our family to celebrate this special time of the year. Unfortunately, we also had to cancel our travel arrangements going to Switzerland to be with my brother as well as celebrating a very special birthday of my niece who turns 10 years just after Easter, what a milestone.

Nevertheless, we play along with what is possible and on time we received a special Easter parcel sent by Mum & Dad. What a surprise and we waited till Sunday before we opened the "Easter Egg".

One of course is always more taken aback by it than others.

And as we are home bound, we had plenty of time baking cakes. I usually bake cake once a year. Look at me, on just one weekend I baked 2. I must admit I totally enjoyed spending that much time in the kitchen and of course Tobi felt very spoilt.
