This is how far they got by lunch. I can't wait to get home from work to checkout the progress.

Thanks for the compliments.

You must be excited....

That looks like a pretty steep slope break going into the deep end. Looking back at the layout in your first post I can see it, but I didn't picture it that steep in my head. A random suggestion: I would consider putting a line of tile or something on that edge so people can see where the break is.

That's a good idea. I'll just need to find a way so it won't look odd in the pool.

Nice looking pool. Good to see someone building a nice, deep diving pool for a change.

We are officially swimming. They are still working on the spray deck and some rock sitting walls. I'll try and get better some better pictures.

Yes, we got a diving board. I'll try and run home at lunch and get a better picture.
