The Dream comes true!

I had spring dreams of getting a pool which this summer became a reality.



How did it happen so fast you may ask? After interviewing, getting bids and ideas from several pool companies, we chose Supreme Pools of Spring TX. One week after signing our contract, the digging began -- June 14th to be exact. Here's some picts from that day:





Yes, that was all in one day. The second day, the rebar was laid and the concrete poured.




And ya just never knew who would show up to start tearing apart more of yard or hauling in rocks. It was a mess!





And we had to take our one of my precious flowerbeds for lots of concrete/decking, but it was worth it!



And these next guys were the ultimate professionals, they had quite the system for spraying on the pebblesheen coating.



And finally time to fill the pool and Caleb can't wait.



How many days did this all take? I should do a contest and someone could win a prize because you'll never guess. Answer: from the first day of digging to filling the pool was a grand total of 15 days, so, it's being filled on June 29th and the next Monday we were able to have a pool party for Olivia and friends to celebrate her birthday and another for Colton recently. (most of those pics are posted on facebook)



So come on over and enjoy with us sometime!
