There were a few rain delays and setbacks but our pool is now finished! It ended up taking about 6 weeks to complete due to the rain, but we are so excited that it is finished and the kids can't wait to start swimming every day!
After the gunite, they laid the tile and rock around the edges of the pool.
They finished the electricity and then it was time to pour the decking. I was so ready for the mud around the pool to be gone! Because of the rain and mud, I was having to give Maggie a bath almost every single day. We ended up adding more decking than we had originally planned and budgeted for but in the end, it was worth it! I was so pleased with how it turned out and can't wait to host a lot of swimming parties this summer!
The final step was spraying the mini-pebble tek to give the surface its texture and blue color.
And just like that, it was time to start filling the pool with water! It took almost three days of constant running from two different hoses to fill it up.
The grass and sprinklers were finally installed this week and we couldn't be more pleased with the end result! It has totally transformed our backyard into an oasis and I can't wait to spend our summer outside with friends and family.
The water is still freezing but the kids haven't seemed to mind. They've been swimming almost every day and can't wait until they can safely have their friends over to swim.
