Only update for now is looks like new plaster around week of June 7, I guess the good thing with that is temps are now starting to rise into triple digits so water won't take long to warm up I really can't wait to see it all come together.. I just keep telling myself it won't look as bad as it did with the ugly green everywhere, I also really really really wanna test drive that new plumbing

Believe me, they know im ticked that its memorial day weekend and im poolless

 

[clambert1273]

Right now all I am doing is trying to figure out what I need on hand after they plaster & fill it up, this is new territory for me since usually im just taking over crappy water & equipment lol Right now, I have socks & zipties for the hose ends, I have a bag of cya ready & my socks/twine for that I also know to pick up my chlorine & acid beforehand. I also have vac head for vinyl already as well as my old vinyl brushes

anything I am missing that I need to grab @kimkats ?? This will be a totally new experience for me

two 2 cup plastic measuring cups. The muriatic acid gets it's own cup. The other one can be used for everything else. I use the oz on that to measure when it calls for "weight" instead of volume as it is close enough.

Do you have a safe place and container to store the acid in? It needs to to be plastic and away from any metal and chlorine as it's fumes are bad news. I keep mine in a 5 gal bucket behind my barn where no critters can go. The lid is vented.

It's 5:45am and I been up since 5am (my normal time for work) so it's gonna be a long day lol

 

[clambert1273]

9:18am & nothing yet cuz I know @kimkats will say are they there yet

 

[clambert1273]

My biggest concern of course is that we are now firmly planted in triple digits pretty much daily but I assume they deal with that here all the time
