Fill'er Up!

After 1.5" of snow last Thursday and more rain through this past Tuesday, the weather finally cooperated and we got a dry and relatively warm day (60 degrees) yesterday. That was enough of a window to let the pool crew plaster the pool and fill it, late in the day. So as of now, we have a pool that is operational but darn cold (58 degrees)! Here's how the day progressed...


The plaster was sprayed on starting with the walls


The crew worked in small sections at a time


It took from 10:00am until mid-afternoon to finish the plastering


The finished product was a snow white smooth marcite finish!


The water tanker arrived a bit after 5:00pm to deliver the first load


This is how the pool looked after the first 14,000 gallons


View from the deep-end half full


The remaining 13,000 gallons begins to be pumped in


It takes about 18 minutes to empty the full tanker load (14,000 gallons)


The "tanker" on it's final delivery of our water


The pool the way it looked today. The mechanicals worked perfectly and the power falls were way cool!
