Thanks for sending this on. I guess the date for getting back into the pool will be mid Nov if they get the locker room issue fixed.

As with all construction projects some aspects are really trucking along, others, not so fast. But overall we are proceeding as scheduled and I'd like to once again thank Thom Schultz (Mercer Builders), Adrienne Watkins (Weinstein AU) & Russ Woodruff (Milestone Management) for their diligent work and keeping the project moving along along with the ongoing efforts of our MSC membership serving on our Project Committee. A few pictures are attached for you to view. You will see that the north, west & south foundation walls have been formed and the 'stripping of the forms' has begun. You will also see the progress as of the evening of October 6, 2014 of the main water line. Regarding the main water line, the return to the operation of our pool is dependent upon completing the new water service to the property. Although the work is ongoing, the City's stringent inspection and schedule requirements will mean the work will not be completed until the end of October or beginning of November. We are also encountering issues with what all is required for temporary locker room facilities. We will continue to work towards a solution and, as always, we appreciate your understanding and patience. In the meantime I hope you have been able to take advantage of swimming at the Mary Wayte Pool and using the fitness facility at the Mercer Island Community and Events Center as well as Indian Summer at our beach. A couple of business notes: 1) please send all payments to MSC, PO Box 419, Mercer Island, WA 98040, 2) we now have active voicemail when you phone the club, however we still do not have a phone line. We will be checking voicemail daily through out the work week and will do our best to return voicemails as quickly as possible. Have a great week, Paul -- Paul T Von DestinonGeneral Managerpaul@mercerwood.com206-232-1622 ext. 11
