Let the fun begin...

Day 1 ~ This morning construction started on our swimming pool! I can't believe how much they were able to get done in just a few hours today.

This was the scene at about 8:30this morning. They were scraping the yard to get down to the correct grade for the pool.
By 9:00 they had everything scrapped and were starting the layout the pool design
By 10:00 they had everything laid out, we approved it and they started the "big dig".

By the time I left to go get Gracie about 2:00, it was starting to look less like a hole and more like a pool.

So this is where we are today about 3:30 or so. I was really surprised by how quickly it went from a lawn to a pool form. Tomorrow they plan to do all of the plumbing and rebar framing, weather permitting (they are forecasting storms). If they don't get too delayed by the weather we could have Gunite (sprayed concrete) as early as Friday. Don't worry, I don't plan to continue with the hour by hour commentary of the pool's construction...I guess I was just excited today!

Speaking of excited...Gracie & Gwynie thought today was pretty cool! We will see how they are hanging in a few weeks from now.
