I can’t be the only one who immediately started mentally noting the water on the floor from an apparently long-standing leak (the rust) and the all but crumbled cinder block wall where the pipes penetrate the wall.

Perfect setting for my Schwinn Varsity collection.

You'll have that in pump rooms. Having spent time in a large (275 Mgd) water treatment plant I was more noticing lack of this.

Balancing Work & Riding
 
Good for you getting the job you (hopefully) wanted. Maybe get an indoor trainer setup. You could do reading / riding. I/2 hour before or after work and an hour each weekend day. Happy (indoor) Trails......

Best, Ben

I do some work in Montpellier. I don't think my employer will pony up for your joint. I think last time I stayed at the Hotel ibis before flying out to Portsmouth. I do like Montpellier, Portsmouth not so much.

The cinderblocks are pretty much built in to the hillside as the pump room is below the pool level...

Ah, no explanation needed. I think I was poking fun at myself more than commenting on you or your BEAUTIFUL facility. C'est magnifique!

If you took it any other way, I apologize.

I will say, I prefer Portsmouth NH over Portsmouth UK. But that is for a different thread. :)

I will also say, I prefer the south of France over the north.

Reading through this thread, I’m really not regretting retirement from 32+ years in military construction, site quality engineering, and program management.

Glad that you have a position Milo, best wishes on getting things going your way👍

Bill
