November 21 - first day of pool construction. Rauol, who did the walls around our courtyards last spring, is doing this job for us as well, and has contracted plumber Gavino to do the piping and pump part. Friday Rauol's Dad, Albierto, spent 8 hours starting to dig the whole for the pool. The ground in this area is all hard limstone - brutal, heavy work both breaking it up and then shovelling it out. You can see how far he got after a full day of work. Today they are using what they call a jack hammer - we might call it a large drill, but hopefully it will be faster than slogging at in manually.
