Throw a couple of clean towels in the dryer, have a hot toddy sitting by the pool=wonderful way to get warmed up inside and out after getting out!

Double dog dare is the ultimate dare.
You can’t back out of it. You will lose all street credibility.

I dared my 14 yo daughter and before I could say double dog da.., she jumped in. I had to go in next. Wow, it was cold. 
When I got out and stood in the sun, all was good.

No way. She got out so fast.
Alllllrighty then! Your still legit in the neighborhood.
My kids went swimming at the neighbors house today. I thought they were crazy but...... it got them out of my way. Been rebuilding a trailer so I can use it for the upcoming build thread.
Speaking of the build thread. I’m wondering if it’s to early to start it. We’re doing an owner build. If I start it now I could show all of the pre con work I’ve been putting in ahead of the build. Started the finance phase on Friday.
Ill take votes. Would people like to see the entire process. Preconstruction through swimming. Or just the build?
‘My thoughts are that there could be very valuable information that could help others.
Or, it could be a slow moving novel.
What say say you people of trouble free pool?

I say go ahead and start it mslaman. I've been researching owner build vs PB and still undecided. I want to get this project started soon. Have you been getting quotes for OB? Does it look like the savings will be pretty good?
It is never too early to start a build thread. Start with a pic of where the pool will be going and go from there.

It will be less stressful on timing if you start earlier, no rushing and you can schedule things like shotcrete so you can be there,, not when they say they have time.
Oh snap!! you did it!!!I dared my 14 yo daughter and before I could say double dog da.., she jumped in. I had to go in next. Wow, it was cold.

Now I have to put up or shut up!! My Pebble was supposed to go in today but just found out it will be tomorrow. ....checking cyber Monday wet suit deals!! hahaHaven't started the bid process yet. I have been doing a lot of little things that need to get completed before bids.
I'll start a thread, feel like I am hijacking other peoples accomplishments.....Although hopefully added quality information as well.
I see a Gold Supporter Badge in the near future......
After a few delays we finally got the pool plastered on Wednesday. We used Deep Blue Pebble Radiance. Yesterday we had the acid wash and started to fill it immediately. Thankfully I have pretty incredible water pressure and using two hoses got it filled by @ 6PM last night. Then of course we had some heavy rain over night which I'm sure topped it off. Today a service tech will be out to get everything thing up and running and drop off brush and other tools. Monday I am scheduled for orientation.

Let the brushing begin!!! That really came out pretty!
I would test the pH and work on it as new plaster loves to push the pH up as it cures.
