New Pool Build in Massachusetts
- Thread starter superwy
- Start date
we're doing a renovation in MA, and are still most likely a couple weeks away from pebble (I'm hoping it's done before 2 weeks from today - if not sooner). We (and the previous owners) have always closed the pool mid-October. As frustrating as it is (we just had almost a 1 week delay due to the masonry crew being out sick) - I think you've still got plenty of time. We are planning on keeping things going for about a month after we refill the pool to balance the water, etc. The PB recommended not bothering to put salt back in until the spring (just watch the FC level and add bleach as necessary). I'll probably end up closing late October, and I'm not too worried about that. Hopefully with the trees we've cut back we won't get many leaves in the pool.....
I know. Rationally it is fine. I just had two kids with high hopes and a lot of disappointment. We will close the first week in November. Just wish we had water tomorrow. Thanks for letting me vent.

I'm not sure how old your kids are, but I'm sure they are disappointed and that stinks. I haven't even broken ground yet and the wait is driving me crazy -- and I'm 50+, lol.
We also cut a bunch of trees. I'm not expecting to get a lot of leaves in the pool so going to keep my pool open as long as possible. Ours got water on Aug 14th and the kids have been in it every single day - rain or shine. It was 70 and rainy today and they were in - Crazy!
Mine are 12 and 9. They came home and ran to the backyard. A little sad. They will survive and be so happy when they can swim. For me, I just want it done. While awful to say, this ski team family starts dry land training in November so our seasons are blending. So fortunate to have an amazing summer and winter so no more complaints here. Just needed to be sad for a few moments today. Love this forum. I actually broke my leg badly three years ago skiing and found a wonderful online forum. The Internet has its perks!

That's crazy - I had no idea the PebbleTec setup was so elaborate.
Is Kadison doing the finish?
Ha! Felt like I needed to after getting my daughter ready for picture day this morning! They are done. Water tomorrow. I can't believe it. Luckily we have a stretch of some warm weather so we may even get a little use. So excited to see it done.

It took about 5 hours. The pool company comes tomorrow to acid wash and finish it then water. Of course, I work from home 95% of the time and have to teach all day tomorrow. Oh, well. It will be a great surprise when I get home.
