It is tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!! Are they there yet??? LOL
Are you filling with the hose? Think about wrapping a wash cloth around the end so it does not do any damage to the plaster. Make sure it is right by the bottom drain so there is not streaking or such.

The center wall is 18" and it will be a weeping wall. The Flag stone on top of the center wall has not been set in place yet, as they will be adjusting the water flow to make sure the entire wall weeps properly. The two side walls are 12".
@Kimkats- I am at work today, so the crew will start the fill process. I have 3 hoses on the deck for them to use. I will make sure the PB is instructed to cover the hose ends to protect the finish.
I love how your pool is coming together. We just moved in slightly North of you (off Boudreaux) and are looking for a pool builder. Do you mind sharing who your builder is?
The Blue Surf looks wonderful! I love how it looks with your stonework - delicious!
I can't wait to see pictures of it filled!! So exciting!

Here is one after the acid wash, and the beginning of the fill. I only had time to take a quick look, then had to take my oldest son to Base ball practice. I tried to take more pictures tonight but they did not turn out well with the low lighting... I will update in the AM.
Beauitful pool and deck. And I love the outdoor kitchen. We want to add one a little later on. Looks like you will be swiming soon. Hopefully this weekend! It's so hard looking at the big hole in my yard! It's been raining here all week. Funny it didn't rain here much this summer. It waited til I was breaking ground on the pool lol. Enjoy!
Thanks everyone! Fill was completed at 4:30 am!
I thought the water would be cold, but it feels like bath water.

The pool and the deck look great. Very nice job. Quick question: why did they not put waterline tile in the back below the weeping wall? I always thought one of the reasons the tile was there to protect the rock.
Wow, oh wow, oh wow!!! That is one gorgeous water color! It looks like you have the Cobalt Blue color light on! I love it! Stunning!! Now, why couldn't you have done this a few months ago, so I could have seen Blue Surf before I got plastered????? That's what I get for being non-adventurous...
Don't worry about the bath water temp. I'm surprised how much cooler my pool is getting with the slightest dip in temperatures. In the evenings, I find I'm a little chilly in the water especially if there's a light breeze. I would be happy with a little more bath water temp.
And I'm FAR south of you, way down here in Cypress!!!! For out-of-towners, that's a joke. Just a few blocks north of me begin the mailing addresses for Tomball. I'm near N. Eldridge and Grant.
More pictures, please, when you get a chance. We want to see it in all different lights.
Congrats!

That looks really nice. We should get blue surf pebble next week .... Can't wait.
Just spoke to the PB and he dropped off another pebbletec brochure. I just a noticed "Stardust" and "Iron Pyrite" options. How many different options can they come up with for adding sparkle!?!?! Anyone looked at any of those? Was hoping to stop down to the PebbleTec applicator's office today to look at samples, but no one seems to be in the office.... Ugh. Need to decide very soon.... Too many choices!
