Project Pool - Phase 4

Project pool is almost complete. The pool is up, filled with water and we can swim! The first swimmer in was Papa.....



Since we don't have the deck up and the steps in we used our "red neck" ingenuity and backed the pickup up to the pool and use the tail gate as a deck. Notice the designer steps for getting in the truck bed!



Next phase of the project is the landscaping and deck building.....stay tuned!

Project Pool - Phase 3

We are in phase three of the pool project! Saturday morning we had several volunteers here and we were ready to lay the liner in and set up the walls. We lay the liner out in the sun to help get the major wrinkles out and then carried it to the pool area and stretched it out.


Getting instructions from Papa on how we were going to carry the liner to the pool area.


It took 7 of us to move the liner



Stretching the liner out.


Smoothing out the wrinkles.


Walls are up and we are filling the pool!


Setting the pool walls up and pulling the liner up over the walls was a lot harder than we thought it would be. There are no pictures because no one could turn loose long enough to take a picture. We were tired and sore at the end of the day. The girls and I know for certain that we never want to be pool installers.

Not much longer and we will be swimming!

Phase 4 coming soon!
