Building A Pool

So the good news is. . . .we are finally building our pool in the backyard.  This is something that Dan and I have been dreaming of since we ever thought about buying a house.  Needless to say, we are SUPER EXCITED!!

Anyway as we go through the process we have decided to try and take some pictures of the different stages so that we can document this awesome transformation of our backyard.

So here it is before they have started anything in our backyard.  We forgot to take a picture of our front yard before Dan had to rip out three of our plants and move the rocks.  Oh well. . .

Our side yard. . .

The layout of the pool . . .

 

Say good-bye to the grass!

This is after Day 1 of excavation.  They left all their big equipment in our backyard overnight.   It was kind of crazy to see the equipment along with the quick transformation of the backyard.

Day 2 of excavation:  It only took them two days to dig the gargantuan hole that is now our backyard.  WOW!!

The deep end will be 7 feet deep when it’s all done.

Boy am I excited to be swimming in that deep end!!

Plumbing:  They finished the plumbing in one quick day. 

However they’re going to have to come fix the placement of the pool equipment because they have taken up half of our side yard and that definitely wasn’t the plan!!

 

Say tuned for the next stage of building the Merrill pool. . . rebar.  Wohoo!!
