Week 9

Boring week - accomplished very little.

Met with Dave Huard the septic designer at the site and walked the land with him and his asst Leah. They marked off the areas that Leah will bring the backhoe to and dig the perk holes. He said we should be able to place the septic in the area that we want - below the home site in center of property. He also said he would use the AutoCAD drawing I started, and add the septic design to it.

It's been 3 weeks now and I haven't heard back from Jim Bergstrom, the AquaQuip outside sales guy. He was suppose to get me a quote - how long does it take! He hasn't been very responsive - can't email him because it always bounces back (he didn't seem too concerned when I told him this a month ago; I also contacted AquaQuip's IT group by email, but no answer). You'd think he'd call a hot prospect for a $60K sale - business must be really good for him. We're going to the Seattle Home show Sunday. There are several pool companies on the exhibitor's list - we'll see if we can find a better vendor.

I'll report on the Home Show next week.
