Steel arches

Bent steel arches
As I mentioned our trellis support fell just above the pool. Great. Or not so. The architect came up with a nice idea of bent steel arches in both front and back. The structural engineer proposed to have the front cross beam supported by the walls, which will be both more economical and better structurally. We immediately considered it a good combination, so we now have to order the arches. The biggest issue, in addition to additional costs however is, that the structural engineer went for a week holiday, and his son didn't touch our project as we were promised. So, another week delay in having the plans accepted.
Luckily e have two companies to turn to, one in Escondido and one downtown.
The one downtown is Carrol Metal Works, the one in Escondido, Del Mar Fabricating and Welding.
The one in Escondido was suggested by our contractor, and so far he gave us only the best hints ever. So I'm hopeful to get things done nicely and in time, as soon as we have the structural drawings. Sigh...
