Day 94: Acid Washing, Pool Fill, Decking Day 12 - Hardscaping is Finished!
The day is finally here! The pool gets filled!!! Today everything starts to come to an end. Jose and the guys are back to put the finishing touches on the hardscaping. Z & Ryan are back from Al The Plumber's to finish up the water and propane. Joe Lyons will be finishing the electric and speakers today and Brad is back to acid wash the Pebble Sheen. Brad's crew should be out of here around noon and the water should come in shortly after that. All that will be left is the landscaping. And from what I keep hearing Sal will be able to get ALL the landscaping done in three days. I find that hard to believe, but they say Sal is pretty good....let see..
 |
| The deck is finally gone! |
 |
| Along with all the poison ivy that was living underneath it. |
 |
| Brad's crew acid washes the Pebble Sheen |
 |
| That's a big job for one guy! But he is good! |
 |
| And the water is here!!! It will take these two tanker trucks over three trips to fill the pool. One tanker will hold 6500 gallons of water and the little guy behind him holds 4500 gallons. Thats a lot of water! |
 |
| And it starts!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
 |
| FINALLY!!!!!!!!! First feet to get into a wet pool! |
 |
| You can see where the Dessert Gold hits the Prism Blue in the grotto. |
 |
| One of the kids from the neighborhood stops by to watch the pool get filled. Very exciting! |
 |
| The Bar Stools start to get submerged |
 |
| And that's it for the first round of water. You're looking at 11,000 gallons so far. |
 |
| As I head back to work I pass another fire truck bringing more water out |
 |
| The pool is filled, but it isnt turned on yet....but after three months I am done waiting! |
 |
| Water is 78 degrees and crystal clear. Not bad considering it was JUST filled! |

| I had to get into the grotto to check it out. Would be nice if we had a waterfall to turn on. | . |
