Hi again,
I called the water company and they will not take off the sewage part, ($3.00 of the $7.00), No big deal as it will only cost around $110.00 to fill it. Our friend in Cranberry said they discounted his. We apparently aren't so lucky.

So for the update... We got 7 tons of sand delivered. Here is what that looks like in case anyone wants to get a visual aid: Well never mind the picture. It says I am at the limit. Here is the link to my pool photo book instead:

Also we have put in our stakes so we can paint our circles then connect them to make the oval.
We also got our straps built too and the blocks layed out for leveling. I didnt get pictures of that yet but will when we actually get them in the ground.

I do have to admit, so far it really hasn't been as bad as I thought. Once the
patio blocks are in and laser transit leveled, the rest should go together pretty quickly considering that we both read the book 36 times!!!

What is hard is that we both work daylight and don't get home until after 4:00 pm. Tonight I worked until about 8:30pm and that seems to be the pattern since we started. My spine isn't where it is supposed to be though from all the raking and shoveling of some uneven spots.

Talk to you soon and more pics to come.

p.s. I can't believe we are finally doing this!!!
