FILL 'ER UP!

After 56 days of construction, it's time to fill 'er up!

They started filling it at 3:30 pm Wed. July 25.

The above picture was taken at 5:30 pm

7:15 p.m.


9:00 a.m. Thursday morning, still about a foot from the tile line.

Still at 9:00 a.m., view from above.

Micah and Leah relaxing in the new chairs.

3:00 pm Thursday, and it's just about full!

I guess it needs to be about half way up the tile (flagstone) line.

(The shadow in the pool is from a palm tree.)

July 25 - Plaster!

Today they plastered the pool! Hooray!

It took 6 or 7 guys about 4 hours to do it all.

It was neat watching it shoot out of the hose.

Here they are filling in around the mosaics.

Leah and Micah loved watching the process.

Here's a good view from upstairs.

They did a nice job of getting it smooth.

This is what it looks like right now. The color is white plaster with blue & green 3M Quartz mixed in. I can't wait to see what it looks like with water in it. Speaking of which, they left the hose in it when they left! It should be full by tomorrow (thurs) morning.

July 19 - Concrete decking poured

Not much happened to the pool while we were on vacation, but a lot has happened in the last week! The concrete decking was poured...

The color is called San Diego Buff. It dried much lighter than what it looks like here.

Above is the last picture I took.
