Could be worse take a look at the Fulshear PD FB web page what they pulled out of a persons pool.

We have shifted into high gear, got a call that there is an opening for plaster tomorrow so our plaster date was moved to tomorrow, now I don't feel ready, no idea what I thought I needed to get ready.

So funny! I always feel the same way. When I get excited, I feel like I must be doing something to get ready! Just get lots of cold drinks for the crews. And some "tastier" ones for the spectators! Can't wait to see tomorrow's photos! Suz.
Hopefully one last set of photos before plaster, forecast is showing 30% going up to 80% chance of rain tomorrow so we'll see.
So beautiful even without water - especially without the swamp water! I can't wait to see it with clean water.
The lighting outside in these photos really shows off the reflection of the tile on the spa spillway. Such a gorgeous tile! I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow's plaster! Have a good evening. Suz.

Nice I really love your pool! Plus I miss my Highland home which your build constantly reminds me of.
This is so exciting! Your little one is going to have fun today!
I love the close-up of your ledger stone - beautiful! Have a great day! Suz.

They did not tape off the tile?? I hope they get it off of those pretty tiles!
I love the color!

Pool Works did the plaster. Ran home at lunch, crew was gone and plaster installed, assume next step is acid wash, going to call the builder in awhile to double check that. Looks pretty good, a little darker than we were expecting but I'm going to hold off saying anything till water is in and we get a better idea what it will really look like.

Filling has begun. My wife said as soon as it started to fill the rains came down, they've stopped now but I'm hoping it just means a little free water. I'm still a little worried about the color but it is done now so whatever it looks like we'll all be swimming in a few weeks so that is what we wanted when we started this project.
Oh, no doubt in my mind! The finish is stunning with your gorgeous tile! And look at that coping and ledger stone against that blue! Fabulous!!! I also love your step tiles or toe tiles on that finish - lovely accents.
Your water is going to be amazing! Don't forget, you have to let all the water chemistry level out to see the true color of the water. So many times the water looks more green right after the pool is filled.
How are you guys going to sleep tonight??? I think I'll be sitting out by our pool all night when it's filling! Well, I'll at least shove my bed over to the windows and sleep facing the pool! This is so fun!!! Take care. Suz.

Do you know the color stain on the decking? Thanks! I also think the color of the pool will be beautiful. Glad to see another pool in Quartz!
Decking color is Bone White.
Thanks, I should stick to my original statement, wait till the pool is filled and the water has sorted itself out, then look at the color.
Your pool is awesome... my wife and I lived in Richmond when we first got married...right by Fort Bend CC.
Filling continues. Last night I tested the fill water here are the results.
FC: 1
CC: 1 (A little disturbing if true, I have my water softener bypassing right now and have tested the water before with the water softener and do not recall any chlorine to speak of free or combined)
CH: 125
TA: 100
PH: 7.8 (I find this test difficult, not sure if my eyes are geared toward determining shades of color)
CYA: Not tested
I would have included some photos but still too dark this morning before I left, water was over the first step. I've calculated that it is filling at about 7gpm so at that rate and assuming volume estimate is close enough to correct, pool will be filled around 10am Saturday. I am going to look at adding another hose but to be honest I don't think that changes anything in the big picture, there is no point being full at 2 or 3 in the morning if the builder isn't going to come do whatever it is he is going to do to the water till tomorrow anyway.
