hey that looks good now, lots better than a few weeks ago
you didnt drown any illegal rock masons did you

you just need a waterproof laptop and float around all day enjoying the sunshine

Yeah, reality is that there are STILL some items to be completed <or fixed>.
I swear i thought at more than one point this whole thing was gonna KILL me.

Good thing is the pool company was upset that WE were upset...so they
tossed in a few of the electronics to make us feel better

We dumped in over 600lbs of salt...and im pouring in 1/2 a gallon of
acid every day (to lower the Ph or is it pH)...

I got the rest of my garage cabinets put up on sunday & i finished
wiring the welder outlet & compressor (i had the pool company
install a larger than necessary sub-panel...so i could have some
"power" in the garage

Ill post some photos of that later.

heres links to some more photos of the back yard...theyre best
viewed in PREVIOUS (or reverse order from THIS link):

START HERE & work backwards

did you go with a saline pool? I read about those last year when my parents considered a pool.

 

[bushpilot]

Tx...Yeah we went "salt water"...its not salty like the ocean...you can
BARELY taste...in fact many say the pH is along level of a tear.

the salt in the water generates a NATURAL chlorine...the biggest
difference is that in a salt water pool theres NO ODOR and it doesnt
burn to open your eyes.

you also dont run into the other side effects of chlorine...like bleaching
of hair & swim suits/towels...the water is EXTREAMLY "soft" and it
doesnt leave your skin "dry"

once the pool is "salted" there chemical "up keep" is at a minimum not
to mention that SALT is cheaper and can be purchased just about anywhere
