I guess I need to read up on this, but I'm confused. Is this picture the acid wash step? What all do they do? The bottle is keep the hoses from scratching the plaster?

The hose doesn't scratch the plaster I think the issue is the force of the water hitting directly on the pool surface for extended periods can damage the plaster because it is still soft. That is why people want to put socks/rags on the ends of their hoses. This is a pretty good idea to float the stream of water away from the surface of the pool.

Yes. I thought it was creative.

Here is a video of the acid wash step

Wow - looks like your workers must be immune to Muriatic Acid fumes!!!

Our crew had masks on, and I get really affected by the fumes when I pour an acid into our pool.

Pool looks great - jump in soon!!!

haha that is the difference between California construction and Texas construction. There are no requirements for safety really. My father-in-law worked construction for years in California and then moved to Texas and he is shocked by the difference.

It's full! Actually a tad too full. I was setting my alarm all night and set the last one a little to late. Oops.

You know I love that Texas star!!! It all looks beautiful!

You had to wait forever for dig.... I know you felt at times it would never be real. But when your toes first dip into that water, you won't need pinching!!

More pictures when you get the time!

So awesome congrats!!!!

I love the Texas star. When I first moved to Texas I couldn't believe that it was on permanent stuff in houses. For example a lot of the model homes had the Texas star in their front door in leaded glass. I thought "ok that is a bit crazy". Then guess what? Our second home we bought here has the darn star in the front door. I am still debating on buying a new door but it is growing on me.

Awww, those Texas stars in leaded glass are beautiful. I don't know where you moved from, but this way you can always tell people you are a Texan by choice. Like that makes it better than those of us who are native Texans. But we still like to hear people CHOSE Texas (just don't tell us you had no choice! Ha ha!)

One of these days, I'm getting a door with the Texas Star. I hope........ For now, this Texas girl has her Texas pool! Good enough for me!
