Pool Progress

The past couple of weeks we have had some exciting and new progress on the pool. The weather has been nasty and delayed a lot of activity but we were excited to see the sun come out and new people show up! Here they are putting the plaster on the pool to finish the bottom coat.

The finished product is gorgeous! The bright sun makes it hard to see in this picture but its a beautiful blue.

       
Once that was done we were ready to start filling the pool- 36 hours later it was full! That's a lot of water!
   
On Friday they came and hooked up the filters and lights- the waterfall is gorgeous!! We are still waiting on the pump that runs the waterfall on the right side and the pump that runs the bubbler. We've enjoyed many nights on the porch staring at the pool, playing around with the lights on the remote and mesmerized by the sound of the waterfall.
   

This past week we also had our safety net installed- such a huge piece of mind! It is so neat! Scott even walked on it to test it out- its good to go! Removing it is so easy and putting it on is going good, I've helped a couple of times and am very impressed! Its so great knowing we can protect our kids and others around the pool.

Sunday it was quite chilly but Jaxson was itching to swim- Scott told him no....and really the water is 61 degrees so the kid is crazy to think about swimming. So when Bailey went down for a nap I told him he could walk around on the sun ledge with me out there- which turned into him jumping off the rocks. I didn't expect him to go to the ledge below the rocks...and I don't think he did either. We have laughed and laughed and laughed at this video....and once he got all the way in he decided he was done with the idea of swimming and quickly went inside. 

We hope to see the final pumps this week and can show the finished product- we are getting there!
