Concrete!

They poured on Thursday and hopefully be back to put in score lines today. Fence installed on Monday and we are finished!

Notice the temp

The pool is 92 degrees

Quite the hot spell down here. Need to get the water feature in to cool the pool off at night.

What are these birds?

And why do they think my house is now their home?

Our first Swim!

Who needs concrete....spent last two days brushing and vacuuming the pool, start up chemicals are installed. Hope to get concrete in by end of week and get the salt system started once the pool is balanced.
