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.

Starting the pool



All filled up!





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!

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!!! LOL!!! Maybe he was???

I am very happy with the way the rock work came out. I can't wait until I get the firepit and kitchen done.

The guys who did the gunite and pebble tec were from the same company. The company is called Modern Method Gunite and all of their workers wear blue collered shirts with their names on them. They looked and worked in a very professional manner. Out of all the trades that were on site they were by far the most professional.

This is 100 percent true.

The man himself, Caesar Sr., and his sons Junior and Edgar are AWESOME.
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,
Kelly
