The pic was from the very day it was poured......technically during their break. They were still working on smoothing it and adding the control lines and what not. They come back today or tomorrow to clean up their mess and show us all of the equipment. But yes, we're wetting it down and what...

Concrete form And poured Now for it to dry so we can jump in!!!!

Starting the pool install today! Fiberglass. Viking Pools - Gulf Coast (40 ft x 16 ft x 8 ft). I'll add pictures as they go.
