Please enjoy tonight's view while we are waiting (patiently impatiently) on Suz.

Suz is toast (and we can't blame her, she's had a heckuva exciting week, and an even more exciting day!) I'm betting we have pics tmrw around 10am.
And soon after will be the first numbers . . .
 
Ok guys!!!! I'm up and working on pictures as fast as I can. I took almost 300 from the last 2 days, most of which are just duplicate shots to make sure one came out ok. Seriously, yesterday late afternoon and evening, I was clicking as fast as I could. So I'm moving them to my computer to see which ones to delete, and then I'll move the best and important ones to photo bucket. And then post.

I slept like a log! Woke up once at 4am, checked the level of the water and was out for another 2 and a half hours. I fully expected to not be able to move out of bed until noon. I can't believe it..... My old body has rallied, and I feel wonderful - like I had rested all day yesterday! I kept switching between canes and walker, canes and walker, and that really helped. I guess this is what adrenaline does for you - and excitement! The landscape company owner, Wes, asked me to water the new plants by hand this morning, and I cannot wait to get out there and spend some quiet alone time with all my new 'babies' (plants). It was all such a blur yesterday and last night, I'm not sure I even remember what plants he brought. And..... not to mention the pool!!!! I'm sure Nick and I will be in the water at some point this afternoon or evening. I almost wish some of this excitement had been spread out over a few more days, but oh no! I wouldn't change the pace now - it's done except for the mulch and a few tweaks the landscape crew will do today!

So give me an hour or so, and I'll begin posting pictures.
Love,
Suz :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Suz! What a whirlwind the last few days have been! It sounds amazing, and can barely contain myself waiting on Pics. I see you are up, so I will go check some other threads, I am so behind on all of them. Hope you post before I have to run!
 
Maybe it's not the pool you need for physical therapy, it is building pools that you need.
Glad you are feeling well after such a busy day.
Take your time, I have not got my coffee yet. But after that I will be refreshing my browser a LOT.
 
I'm back! Having a late lunch & thanks to Kimkats I see water in your pool <<happy sigh>> I've been looking forward to this thread all morning!

Don't be too ruthless with your photos Suz, even the bad ones will be a good record of the events as they occurred. Waiting and watching with interest. Enjoy your plant watering today, that will be very therapeutic as you stroll round your new resort :p
 
Finally, I narrowed yesterday's photos down to around 70. I won't send you guys all of them! Lol!! As you said, Sandissimos, if I had any doubt about saving a picture or not, I saved it. But I had many almost exact duplicates.

Yesterday was so crazy that I've got some catching up to do. I'm beginning with evening before last.... or Tuesday afternoon/evening.



I will post more than you guys can stand, but this is my Baby! And you know how proud parents (or obnoxious parents) can be. This is after the first day of plaster before the acid wash. Isn't she beautiful?!!! If you're waiting for your plaster, you will be amazed how different and beautiful your pool looks. I don't care how many other newly plastered pools you've seen on TFP. When it's yours, it is totally different from the photos of others' pools. (again, like a newborn baby - they all look like ET, but thank goodness not to the parents, or half of us wouldn't keep them!!!)




Another post plaster, pre acid wash...




And another....




A big hug if you can guess this one!!!




Not quite as pretty here, because of the plaster mess still on the tiles, but it does get better.




Last shot of the post plaster and pre acid wash. The sun is setting on a wonderful day! (cheesy, right?)




I'll be back, but Mark the Pump Guy just texted and wanted a shot of how full the pool is this morning. I sent him that photo, and he said it's time for me to start filling the spa with one of the hoses. Something else I learned that might be helpful to others not yet at this stage - You don't want to pull a hose if it's the only one you have and the pool isn't completely filled yet. He said if the water sits at one level for too long, it can leave a line stain on the new plaster. That's another reason he wanted me to use 2 hoses, so I can keep one going while filling the spa with the other.

Even though my landscape crew and I have gotten to know each other after these almost 4 weeks, I'd still rather they not surprise me and catch me in my jammies!!! So off to ready for the day and start the spa filling!!!!

Later,
Suz.
