Day #5

We are getting so close!!! The pool is mostly filled right now (one of us will have to get up in the middle of the night to shut the water off). The installer is coming back tomorrow to tie up a few loose ends and then we'll see him again in two weeks when he pours the walkways and patios. The forms are in for the concrete, but the dirt has to settle around the pool for a few weeks before they can pour it. The a/c unit gets moved sometime next week, so it won't be near the pool anymore. Now we just need to find a way to cover the pump -- it had to go in the middle of the yard for a variety of reasons: legal set-back, out of the way of other utility boxes and where the kids can't climb on it to get over the fence. The fence will go around two sides of it, so that just leaves two sides to hide.

And Jeremy & Hannah took their first dip in it tonight. The water hasn't been treated yet, though, and is YUCKY from all the dust. So, I'm waiting until tomorrow after we get the chemicals in and learn how to use the vacuum to take a dip.
