    How long is your pool taking to get built ?

    Kids started school today. So summer break is over but we have plenty of summer left to enjoy. Working on the landscape currently but won't plant anything until October.

    It looks great. I like the dark background it just highlights everything else in the yard.

    They had a 2x2 piece of wood with a thick marker on one end to mark a foot and on the inside end against the pools edge it had a roller like a nail but it spun. They marked it and than used automotive tape to tape it off following the outline. It's honestly very well done.

    Lol I like the quote. I do it to have peace of mind. I use good quality test kits and I always double test just to be safe. To be honest it was very close to my at home testing.

    Yeah I do the same for my aquarium reef tank. I'll have my local shop test my water and I compare to my at home test kits just to be on the safe side. I'll have to check out the watermelon ball. Never heard of it

    I do have my own. I just like to use it as a reference to my own testing. And the kids wanted rings, torpedos, and toys lol. That we couldn't find at Walmart ☹️.

    That's terrible. In good faith they should honor the contract and break ties and refund your deposit. I'm sure there's a loophole in these agreements.

    If you haven't given a company any money. Move on and build your own. That's ridiculous. I get the demand vs supplies but if I were to tell my customer I can't get them there favorite beverage Coca Cola, than Im not providing the customer service we expect as a company. It's no different for...

    Obviously not 100% done. Still need the pool deck and landscaping to be done. I'll start laying the paver edging this weekend for the grass. I have about 4 tons of rock on the street I need to move to the back lol. We won't start planting until September-October.
