Yeah, dumb virus. But you are telling it! Here’s my soon to be finished pool with plenty of FC to kill you ‘rona.

Looks great! This is our 8th year with our pool. I was either next to or in the pool since 9:30 this morning - and still here. It never gets old. Funny because I remember someone saying “why on earth did you get a pool? You’ll hate it once the kids are older.” I guess he didn’t know we like he thought he did.

Make sure to mist it often to help it cure slowly.

Trying! Very hard to keep wet in 90+ degrees! Every 2 hours or so. Crazy how this concrete is not hot whatsoever. Just barely warm in full sun .
They will be back to saw cut Monday and do the bottom. Liner Tues or Wed

Woohoo!! What color liner did you go with?

Went with Reef. Fits the look I was going for.

I remembered last second for them to add 3 sockets for umbrellas on the deck. One at the steps and one at each bench. Also did sockets for a Handrail, basketball hoop, and a ladder.

Day 9 complete. Hopefully the liner, water and equipment all go in tomorrrow.

What material did you use for backfilling?

I believe the walls were just backfilled with dirt

Man that is looking GOOD!!! SO close to Do you have your test kit yet?

The Latham Reef liner was 2-3” short in the stair corner. Water truck was there and everything last Wednesday. Hoping Latham cuts the new liner and gets it to me soon so I can cool off while working on my walls.

No test kit yet!

Here is the staircase I built over the past 3 days though. Starting flagstone walls next.

LOVE the steps and the lights! Gurrrr on the liner

 

[l1ltaral1l]

Oh man, what a bummer about the liner! But your stairs look amazing!

LOVE the steps and the lights! Gurrrr on the liner

Apparently Latham is slacking on making me a new liner for their mistake
Still nothing

 

[kimkats]

I have such a big sad for you and a HUGE MAD for them!!!! GURRRRR

That sucks. Hope it comes in soon.

New liner installed Thursday and fit perfect. Water came Friday
Loving the pool! Benches and steps are awesome. The T7 diving board is really nice and has a lot of spring to it. And A small unexpected thing we like is that all the stairs,benches, and walls have a nice padding on them and are textured. Great for sitting.

Don’t mind the pretty orange fence for now

 

[kimkats]

That looks AWESOME!!! It looks like it fits alike a glove!! LOVE the steps and diving board for sure! Nice action shot!

 

[l1ltaral1l]

Ahhh it does look fabulous!!

 

[Cephrael]

That’s a cool diving board!
