Pool done!

Pool's all full! Our pool is about average size. 15x32 and about 6 feet deep, and it took 13 hours with two garden hoses. Now we have to wait until the start up guys get here to turn everything on (should be around 4pm today), then we have to wait 24 hours until we can use the pool. If we were using regular plaster, it would be about 7 days until you could go in... 7 days?!?!?! I can barely wait 24 hours! Also, can't take the heater above 85 degrees for 30 days so that we don't "Bake the plaster". This is when you take the heat up too high before the plaster gets a chance to set, and turns the plaster brown.

The start up team should turn on everything, and explain to me how it all works. I might do a little more posting on the maintenance as we go.

Great job by California Pools and I hope this blog is helpful to you if you ever build a pool in your backyard. From dig day to today, it's been about 7 and a half weeks since dig day. They really did this one fast even considering a few changes (like the location of the fire pit etc...). Really happy with their work.
