    Good news we passed final inspection. The in floor system heads go in, in the morning and pebble tec guys are supposed to be scheduled for the same day. We'll see how that goes!

    Well unfortuantely the pebble tec didn't come as planned. Right now it's scheduled for this Thursday. The heads for the in floor cleaning system was installed.

    So far they haven't put in any of the heads for the returns or the main drains and jets in the spa. Does anyone know if they do this when the pool gets pebble tec or should this be done before? I called the PB and he was too busy to talk today, or just too lazy on his vacation.

    Okay after much waiting and complaining with the pool builder the pebble tec is finally done today!!! We had a delay because they wanted payment before doing the finish but failed to tell us and took us off the schedule without even a phone call. So with some complaining and because of a cancellation we got pebble tec today instead of on Monday the 8th. Tomorrow is the acid wash and then get to fill the pool. Oh I can't wait, this weekend will be fun watching it fill with water.

    Okay today the pool was acid washed and the fill process is under way. The fill was started around 1 or 2pm this afternoon. We'll see how long it will take to fill.

    Well it's taking a while to fill with water. I must have low pressure to the house. It should be done tomorrow. Here is a picture of the pool almost at noon today.

    Okay the pool is full. I added another hose yesterday afternoon which was connected to a foucet closer to the water main. This dramatically increased fill time... last night I only left on one hose at low flow because it would have filled in the middle of the night but the PB says not to stop the fill process till it's done. Anyways I'm really enjoying the look of the pool now. I can't wait to start landscaping to get a final product.

    Here are some pictures of the pool in the afternoon. I got the pictures a bit late and the house shadow started to cover the pool. I really like the carribean blue finish.

    Okay well I checked the breaker box and looks like the pool lights were already turned on. I decided to check the switches and wow they came on. Nobody told me they were ready so I took some more pictures. Can't wait to get the heater running so I can break it in at least once.
