Since we have snooped on this site for so long, I thought I would do my part and post our pool construction along with pictures. The excavation crew came out today and it has officially started.

Not too far from you, we are in Cypress.

Thanks for all the thumbs up on the diving board. We are excited and know our boys are going to love it.

Nice another person in the area.

Before long we are going to have enough people for a north side pool meet haha.

Day three they sent out a clean up crew and today (Day 4) nothing really happened. I have to spray down the pool twice a day for the next 7 days and the plumbers and electrical team will be out during that time. Other than that, not really much going on in the next week.

Very nice! What type of finish are you going with?

We plan on using a pebble finish, WetEdge Satin Matrix. We are still debating over a few different colors right now.

Looking great, keep the pictures coming.

It has been crazy around here. Week 2 was this past week and they took care of the tile, coping, and started framing for the decking. Here are some pics.

So I am a little behind on posting pics. The pool is pretty much complete. We filled it this weekend. They are finishing up the spray coating tomorrow and then next week they will add the diving board when we go through pool school. Here are the pictures I have so far up to the plaster point. I will post more next week when everything is up and running and we are done!

Dude, you realize your pool was finished in like 22 days?

I really want your crew.

Does your pool have a shallow end?
