    Sorry for the threadjack...that's kind of what I was thinking. They have not delivered our 280 either. No wetsuit though, but maybe I'll let the kids loose, lol, they are begging to go swimming.

    You see, there are benefits to having kids. If you don't want to do it and they are excited to do it, I think you have a perfect match. Just keep them off of the sides and the bottom of the pool. Happy leaf hunting.

    How long did it take to get plastered? My PB is trying to get the plaster done tomorrow morning. And it looks like it might rain by 11:00..12:00, not sure if that will be an issue?

    About three shots.

    Actually, it takes several hours. the plaster goes on fairly quick but getting it all perfect takes awhile. Personally, I'd rather put it off than have it start raining mid-job. My pb said that can make your pool a real mess.

    Geralde,
    I agree with Sean's previous entry.

    They started the plaster on my pool around 7:00 AM after getting all set up. They did not begin to fill the pool until 1:30-2:00 PM. We had rain scheduled for Sunday early morning. I used water from both sets of neighbors on either end to help me with the fill. My pool was full by 7:30 AM on Sunday (est. 21K gallons). As I mentioned in a previous thread, I would err on the side of caution when it comes to the plaster. Good luck and be sure to upload some pics.

    Well..the plaster crew was here. They did some clean up of the pool....it started to drizzle, now they are gone. Should be back tomorrow.

    Oh well...better to wait on this based on your comments.

    Wise decision. I watched the guys during the entire process. The plaster is very wet going on. A thick soupy paste. Rain drops would definitely cause havoc. Furthermore, I would imagine in your cooler/ colder climate that it will take a little longer for the plaster to set up. We hit 80+ degrees the day of our plaster with a lot of sun in the afternoon. I would think you are lucky to get out of the 60's this time of year. I know how anxious you are. Sean and I were both there last week wanting to get it done ASAP. I know I am glad I waited and I am sure Sean would give the same thought (Right, Sean???). Keep us updated.

    It has been a few days since the last update. The equipment is up and running. We are brushing the pool twice a day. I have to wait at least 10 days before I can fire up the Spa. Must give the plaster time to cure before adding heat into the mixture. Anyways, my kids and I jumped in the pool and went swimming. For all of you living up north, the water, according to my PS8, is 82 cool degrees. Wow, it sure was refreshing. I have to share a little extra special something with everyone. I put a few extra dollars into the pool for when party-time came around, we could have a party with all of the lights. Color Logics (LED) at their best in Disco mode. 2 in the pool and 1 in the spa. Hope the video works and tell me what you think.
