    What did you do to your pool today?

    Oh happy day! New equipment pad done, everything lubed and hooked up, and filling the last 4-5 inches of water as we speak. :sun: It is still entirely too early to think of swimming but I do love looking at the uncovered, crystal clear water.

    New Texas Pool

    Very nice design and love the choice of tile! I can see all those black, white, silver tiles....glistening in the sun. cool, understated. with a splash of red thrown in all over the place with towels, cushions, flowers!
