Pool Construction pictures

Inside the bathhouse on the north side where the floor is poured.

On Monday cement trucks arrived in a steady stream to pour the floor of the bathhouse.
You can see from this picture the stainless steel gutters are being put into place around the pool and the cement level will be poured up to them. The bathhouse roof also has tar paper in place.

Pool Update

There was a lot of activity at the pool today. South Exeter Avenue just south of the last stop sign was torn up to trench power lines underground. See picture. Also they were doing some level around the edge of the pool. The pump company was at the site continuing connections and pump placement.

Spring storm brings wind, hail to Exeter

Around 3:00 p.m. the high winds that plagued Exeter all day turned dangerous as a severe thunderstorm blew into town. A west bound semi with an empty cattle trailer turned over just west of town during the storm. The driver was transported in the Exeter Rescue Unit as a precautionary measure. Exeter Volunteer Fire Department was assisted by the Fillmore County Sheriff Department and the Nebraska State Patrol in traffic control. Randy Hitz of Hitz Towing out of York arrived at the scene to upright the vehicle.

SPRING!!!!

These early purple crocuses were spotted before the official first day of spring. Unfortunately the end of the week won't be as warm but we had a beautiful weekend - Post some other locations of early flowers if you have seen some for the whole community to enjoy!

More rafters on the bathhouse

The rafters are nearly all on the bathhouse and sheeting has begun on Thursday
On Friday, the Houlden Remodeling crew has got the west side mostly sheeted and the other rafters on the east side along with quite a bit of sheeting. Lots of progress this week.

Bathhouse Rafters Going UP!

At 11:30 on Wednesday morning the bathhouse rafters were going up! By quitting time they were almost all on the roof awaiting sheeting.
From the north side of the pool you can see the pillars which will have an extension over them to provide a little shade.
The pile of rafters, along with the other end rafter is waiting to be put up with this boom truck.
