Things are going well, still knocking PH down (new plaster makes PH sky-high) but should have it normalized by this evening.

This pic was taken just before she was completely filled, took 30 hours and 3 hoses to fill the thing:

    There's one on the patio, just to the left of the pool. A Yammie somethin or another receiver, Tosh DVD/CDP, XM tuner, and Energy C-3 bookshelf speakers. The patio walks right out onto the pool decking.

    Looks good Steve. Reminds me of my younger days when I worked in the summer with my Dad. He built in-ground pools and my job was to do the landscaping. Nice view of the mountains.

    Steve,

    Very nice pool and what a beautiful view! You live in Cali or Arizona? Looks awfully familiar, kinda like the area near Hot Springs(SD)? Again, very nice and well done!

    Wow, that really does look nice!

    Surely you're going to have another method for filling the pool, though. :confused:

    when we redid our pool last year we ended up getting 2 tractor trailer loads of water(i think it was around 28,000-30,000 gallons) of water......the pumps on those trucks are insane....about 15 minutes each and the pool was full with nice clean water :D.

    I can't even imagine if we had used a hose....

    They included a good quality solar cover. Arizona requires it with all new pools now, for water conservation.
