The sad thing is it is bigger then mine as well. The outside of my house is now much nicer then the inside!

Day 28 - 3/19

They did the acid washing yesterday and started filling the pool. Pretty cool that is only took 28 days from the dig until water got put in. They are doing the final cleanup today. They will need to do another smaller cleanup when the rock work is completed but it is getting closer to the end. The only things that are left include:

• Finish fire pit and bench
• Countertop and stone install on outdoor kitchen
• Landscaping
• Brick columns and painting on the patio cover

Wow - that was fast, I didn't think it would be possible to build one that quickly due to the time needed for flooding/compacting grades, and curing times for the 'crete in the pool and the deck. congrats!

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.

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!
