If you're picky about where you want your plumbing lines to run, make sure you have your backhoe handy, ladies. Diane helps out here by digging a 35-foot ditch to the equipment pad to keep the plumbing from running under the proposed pool house/dressing area.
Today we celebrated the arrival of our San Juan pool from Florida, thanks to Dwayne (a trucker with nerves of steel!) The team from Cabarrus Pools quickly went to work to dig the hole and move the pool with a little help from Mike of AME crane rental. Special thanks to Gene Shaver of Gene Shaver Backhoe for his expert excavation and also his kind donation to Bridgewater Farms. Bob, Bill, Nate, and Robert will be back tomorrow to level the pool and install the plumbing.
Shane and Shane work together to lay new tile in the family media room. Although I'm reminded of "Darryl, and my other brother, Darryl", Shane and Shane are not brothers. Just cousins. 
Whew! It is H-O-T in July in South Carolina!!! But the crepe myrtles are blooming and the sky is a beautiful Carolina Blue! Nothin' could be finer . . .
Trent made some long-awaited bathroom repairs and put the final touches on the wheelchair ramp handrail before it gets painted. Meanwhile, Mike provided some advice about the problems we have been having with our fixtures. Little by little all of our systems are coming on line! Thanks, guys!
Casey and Abby led a nature walk in search of beautiful flowers, leaves, and sticks. Then they created a wonderful arrangement for a photo!
Corrie Long, physical therapist at Carolina Pediatric Therapy Cooperative, Inc., brought the family along to help out this past weekend. Corrie drove the tractor while husband Darren chopped out several hundred feet of trail. 
Dean Campbell of Campbell Grading brought his son Derrick out to Bridgewater for the day. Derrick cranked up the track loader and went to work carving out a nice level spot for the new pool. Next they will cart off the debris and bring in some clean fill to finish shaping the foundation for the pool, decking, and wheelchair pathway.
They're baaaaaack! The great team from Absolute Tree Experts returned to clear the path for the 18-wheeler and crane needed to transport the swimming pool. As usual, Oliver, Sandy, and Johnny did a masterful job.
Great job with the pedaling, Nadia! Next we'll work on steering and brakes! 
Stephen Plumb and his wife Julie were kind enough to personally deliver our new (used!) ATV so we can start cutting some trails for the horses. Best of luck to the Plumbs on their upcoming California adventure! Here's to great job opportunities and a wonderful life out West!
