The cement-like flooring was applied on Friday. No more mud hole. They finished up the drainage tile work Thursday. Cory and his team worked from 8am-8pm !! Painstaking work.
The deck was completed on Thursday. Brad came that morning and put on a gate. It can be locked. Parents will have a place to take the little ones to sit and relax without worrying. The little ones can see all the action going on in the pool without being splashed. I've purchased a baby pool for the deck so they can still have water play when not in the big pool.
Yesterday the pool crew returned and put in the 450 lb. liner! You can even see the design with John's great close-up shot. Before they left they attached a vacuum to suck out the air between the wall of the pool and the liner, put in 2 hoses and turned on the water!! We were to let it fill until the shallow end had 2" of water or turn off everything if the vacuum shorted out. Well, it shorted out with this morning's rain. It was only inches away from reaching the shallow end.
John took this picture last night. From this view it looks as though everything's done. Not so. But now I can almost believe it will be done close or on schedule. The to do list: finish the stone wall, the cement decking around pool, landscaping, fence, pergolla, set up the swing set and basketball hoop. But I've been told this will all go quickly if we have a break from rain. And we have had. This was a productive week and the workers are all phenominal!!
