During the night I e mailed Thijs noting my fears and thoughts - his response ended with the comment he would move mountains to find a solution today.
Indeed he was on sight at 6am, and right on cue it was raining, and when it rains here it really rains, and it was set in for the day.
Our team of gardeners were aware of todays deadline and despite the rain turned up to lay the lawn - albeit by the side of an empty pool.
Despite the weather and with many kind wishes of support we woke feeling more positive and trusting Thijs would find a solution.
The grass has been laid, I am told supplied by the same company, and to the same quality as Stade de France in Paris! Meanwhile the enquiries into the leak continue.........
Sebastion puts his job and life on the line with Thijs hammer in hand investigating the leak which they think they have found under the concrete beam.
A solution of very quick drying cement is injected into the hole.
The rain is relentless as everyone rallies round to sort out the problem.
By this evening, we have monitored the leak and water and it seems we have at last stemmed the flow.We will now wait until the morning before adding any more water then we will top up a few inches at a time.
Unfortunately the water is now cloudy due to the cement and as yet is untreated so it will take several days to sort this out. Then we have to have the cover fitted and direct the water through the heating system to warm it up.
Thank fully this weather front is moving on, tonight you could see the clear front coming hence the rainbow, as it was raining over us yet clear in the West. The forecast for the next fortnight is sun, warm and dry so hopefully in a week or so we will be sorted!I took these pictures tonight from the Lounge.
