    Dallas Pool Build **update with final pool pics**

    We are also waiting on equipment and our PB said that it's on order. They haven't said it would be 2 months though. I definitely hope it's not that long! We have everything done up to Tile and Coping but they can't do electrical without the equipment being in, so we're just waiting...

    Hey Redpop - looks like we're in the same boat. I live in North Dallas too and our gunite was poured on Thursday 2/4/21 and I've been nervous about only having 4 days of watering before the temps started dropping. From everything I've read (and confirmed with the PB), you don't need to water it...
