Yea, it was quick. The pool is almost filled. It has about 8-9 inches to go.

Day 28 - 3/19
They did the acid washing and started filling the pool. It took about 48 hours and around 17,500 gallons of water to fill it but it is now complete.

Today they are going to start the pool up and get the water moving. The brick columns are getting done today as well. I met with another landscaper yesterday. I am looking forward to getting everything else wrapped up. It is going to be in the upper 70's this weekend. Not too long until it is pool weather!

Beautiful! love the final color of the water!
Pool looks great! Can you PM me the contractor you used to build your covered patio? It looks like they did a really great job.
I'm so-o-o-o envious of your waterfall rock work....
That first pic of your acid washer took me aback. That shirt looks so fresh and neat it looks like he's a company owner being pulled out from behind a desk to go do a job!!! :p LOL!!! Maybe he was??? :D
I am very happy with the way the rock work came out. I can't wait until I get the firepit and kitchen done.Quote:

I've conducted business with him since the late 80's and they've never been anything less than true Pro's.
They, truly, make a difficult job look very easy. When your on top of your game it really shows.
Things are really coming together for you. It's looking great!!!
Although nobody in my organization gave you the courtesy of a return call, I'm looking forward to an invitation to the pool party!!!
Your going to have every base covered. My favorite pools have everything your fixing to be enjoying. A pool, a shademaker, and a summer kitchen.
I encourage you to take the next step with your covered patio, a full on audio/video system. Nothing beats an outdoor entertainment center. A simple 3.1 AV receiver will blow you away when your outside enjoying movies or music poolside, you'd be shocked to see how affordable a good system is now.
See ya,

Next to the A/B switch is the controller for the AMP that also does the IR distrubition so I can control my Roku MP3 server and Sirius radio. In the covered patio I ran RG6 and an outlet for a TV. I have though about adding a sub out there as well but will see about that. Trust me, I have big plans for the covered area. When it is all done you will certainly get an invite!
BTW, the Color Logic lights look awesome at night. I also want to give you a huge thanks for recommending the foam jet bubbler. It is so much nicer then an eyeball return and it is flush which is much better for triping, etc. I am getting to the end and can't wait for this summer. Thanks!

Well last week I completed the landscaping. It took 6 days with 3 helpers each day to complete the following.
- Landscaping
- Repair french drain
- Rock work
- Completly redo 3 zones of my irrigation system
- Resod the front yard and back side yards
- Install flagstone walkway and rainbow gravel between fence sections where the pool equiptment is (~25 feet)
The only things left to do are outdoor kitchen and the firepit. The big holdup has been the granite countertop people. They were backlogged so all the rock work has to wait until the countertops are done.

I will post more pictures once the rock work gets done.

Steve,
Your pool and surround just turned out great. FYI, how did the spacing on the bubblers turn out??? Any interference between them at all? Just curious. Thanks for sharing your build. :)
The spacing is great. I need to take some action shots. If I turn down the waterfall and weeping wall I can get the bubblers up around 5-6' :D Thanks!Quote:

The granite contractor took way longer then I expected which in turn delayed the pool company from completing the rock work. I still have few small punch out items that need to be addressed but overall I am very happy with the end result.

I would also like to say the support on this forum has been great. My pool would not have turned out so nice without the input from all of you. Thanks!

Steve,
I'm getting ready to build my BBQ, is the granite counter top hot to the touch? My BBQ will not be protected from the sun. Let me know.
Thanks,
AL
Yes it is pretty hot but I would imagine any countertop would be. There are three unbrella holders in the kitchen so when there is an umbrella it is fine. I need to go buy some larger ones so I can overlap the entire kitchen.Quote:
