What time of the year did you go to St Moritz?
I didn’t mind it but the place was empty and a lot of the shops weren’t open. I wouldn’t mind coming back at winter time as apparently the place is absolutely buzzing

A lot of shops and restaurants weren’t open and a few of the locals commented that many shut for Jun/Jul/Aug. Still a fantastic place and our room had great views of the lake

Phase 1 of operation "Boon family swimming pool" was completed a few months back ( cubby house removed, fencing extended etc )

Phase 2, the removal of some gum trees commences tomorrow morning.

Phase 3, the pool install looking like early September.

Phase 4, swimming in it, soon after.

Takes a while, probably longer than you expect, and many little milestones but we are here 98.74% complete.

Under no disillusions as to how long this is going to take, having renovated 2 bathrooms and 2 kitchens I'm aware things :

1 - Never go as smoothly as you hope
2 - Never happen as quickly as you hope
3 - Always cost more than you expect
4 - Mrs Boon is extremely impatient
5 - I drink lots
6 - 5 has nothing to do with renovations

I reno'ed a pool over January this year (yeah I know, but earliest I could get him to do it). Sounded like a simple job in tiling a concrete pool and new coping. 4 weeks later finally done. Was on budget though.

My wife and I are best friends but have learnt that we just simply cannot perform tasks together, whenever we have a big job to do we assign roles and don't interfere or offer advice to each other, it's frustrating but it seems to work.

I'm left shaking my head a lot of the times but beer fixes everything.
