We move to a blog

Today the news section finally moves to a blog. With this action we hope to provide a more modern look, a better navigation and a faster upload of news and pictures, and more important, to allow some interactivity with our clients. The blog allows that people add comments to the news, thus making it more attractive and giving us a very useful feedback. We look forward to hear from you.

Finally, by now we have configured it with 'unmoderated comments'. This means that the comment you write should appear instantly in the blog. In the next weeks we will see how this works.

Putting plants around the new swimming pool

The gardeners are now putting some plants around the swimming pool. Here you see the area where the grass is almost strong enough, we plan to open this area in two weeks, so that people can lie in the grass. There are other areas where the grass is just beginning to appear and that will be opened much later.

Finally

The new swimming pool is now open. In the low season we will open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and in the high season from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.


A lot of details still need to be done but we expect to finish them in this month, and we will keep posting pictures along the way.

Almost

We have had a week of raining that has delayed everything, but somehow we will definitely open tomorrow morning. Here you see the carpenters during this afternoon, they are busy at finishing around the children's pool. The terrain all around will need some weeks until the grass grows strong enough.

The swimming pools are already full of water. And tomorrow we will finally post a picture of the big swimming pool.

Carpenters around the children's pool

The carpenters are finishing the wood all around the swimming pools. Here, they are near the children's pool. Next wednesday it should be completed.

Preparing a double floor in the machine room

In the machine room, the smith is building a double floor, in order to easily check leakages in the pipes. The room looks now worse than what it really is. Next photo should already show a clean and ordered space.

Repairing and cleaning before filling

We are in the last steps before filling the swimming pool: repairing errors and cleaning. However, because of the rainy days, there are too many errors in the tiles and this process will take several more days. There are also some modifications that need to be done in the wood part, that will take several more days. Lastly, the machine room and all the pipes need an initial testing and possibly reparations. All this postpones the opening day to one week later: saturday 8 May.

Protecting plants

These last weeks Raul and Vadim have been building a metal/wood protection around some plants in front of the internet cafe. As a result, the gardeners are now substituting the damaged plants and adding more ground.

In front of the supermarket

The gardeners are beginning to prepare the area beside the street, in front of the supermarket. Here in the photo, they are taking the stones out. Next will be to put some plants and grass.

Water entrances in the swimming pool

Pep is putting the pieces for the water entrances, at the bottom of the swimming pool. There are a lot of water entrances at the bottom, in order to help distribute uniformly the clean water. A lot of care has been put in order to achieve a flat bottom, without pieces that can hurt.
