Construction workers building a waterslide with rocks, plants, and a cement truck at a work site.

Cement work continues around the edge of the pool. A concrete mixer was parked next to the waterslide. As we previously reported, much of the pool patio and surrounding sidewalks were torn up to be replaced. Crews also removed concrete from the pool floor.

Some patches on the ground have new rebar frameworks. Crews were actively working on one such area near a railing, chipping away at some concrete.

Dozens of bags of sand are stacked in and around one side of the pool.

Crews have started pouring sand into the other side of the pool. A layer of sand is standard at the bottom of a pool, between the ground and the pool’s floor.

The layer of sand helps make a smooth surface, which is more comfortable underfoot, plus improves drainage and protects the bottom of the pool.

A crew member was also working on a water tank. Pipes spread out from the tank across the sand surface.

One crew member was working on the fake rocks around the waterslide. Though the rockwork hasn’t been demolished like other concrete, it may be getting paint touch-ups.

Scaffolding has moved from the front to the sides of this Yacht Club tower. Work began on the tower’s siding a few weeks ago. The siding on the front has been replaced, and crews were working on removing the siding on the sides.

More shingles have been removed from nearby rooftops. Like the siding, shingles are being replaced. Crews were placing some wood on one rooftop around dormer windows.
