The Pool Is Open!

After finishing the backfilling last night, the water looked really inviting, so I jumped in.  Perfect temperature and much bigger than the old pool.  I can acttually swim in this one.



Here's a better shot of the pump and chlorine generator

Almost Done!

The pool project is almost done.  The pump and filter are in.  Testing last night I need to add more water to the pool and there is a leak to take care of.  I also need to replace the pressure gauge on the filter, but I am still on target for swimming this week.  In the picture the line in the lower left comes in from the pool to the pump.  The line in the middle is the return from the filter.  The line on the right is the waste line.

The Pool Is Up

After a very long day Saturday, the pool is up.  We did final grading,  got the vertical supports up and got the wall up.  It took 3 of us about 3 hours to get the wall done.  In this picture I am shaping the sand berm inside the pool for the liner.  I installed the liner today.
