It's going down for real....

Long plumbing was scheduled for next Tuesday, but since I can't be here because of work schedule, we moved it to this coming Wednesday.

In the meantime, just a little time-lapse of the 2nd day of coping work. Missed day 1.

You called it... since the start of the project, I've increase spending by 5%... sigh. Most of it really can't be seen... for example: we are pulling an extra 100 amp box to pool equipment shed, stubbing out for fresh/waste water and electrical for the covered patio coming in next year or two, and upgrading to the largest Pentair SWG. I'm officially tapped out.
 
Got some of the plumbing done. Threw the builder a bit of a curveball. I asked to have fresh and waste water lines and the electrical for the future covered patio place stubbed out. This way I won't have to tear up the patio to run it next year. They responded quickly and was able to adjust on the fly. Got most of the plumbing done I think. After this they will run electrical. But because of Tropical Storm Harvey, I don't know how far this will delay is.

They plumbed in the auto fill.

Not sure what this is for. Have to ask tomorrow.

Stub out location for the patio.

Looks like they are pressure testing the piping. I see about 20psi on the gauge.

Well... I am filling the pool... although it's not because the pool is done. With anywhere from 10"-20"+ of rain coming (depending on who you want to believe), PB suggested we fill the pool half way... just in case. There are weep hoels, several of them... but I can see how 20"+ of rain can become an issue. So... pool fill here we go.

It's simply amazing how much water is out there.

That's probably 30'+ at the deepest.

Edit: estimated by one source to be 9 trillion gallons of water. That is about 0.17" of rain equally spread across the lower 48 states. Think about that for a second. Amazing.
