Last week they started digging our pool. First they dug out a flat place. Then they spray - painted the shape of it on the ground, plus 6 inches all around. It will be a fiberglass pool, all in one piece like a giant bathtub. A big semi truck is hauling it here from California. Hopefully it will be delivered this week, and a crane will lift it over the house. Then they hook up the mechanics (filter, heater, vacuum). Next they start to fill it with water and at the same time put sand around the outside, keeping the levels even. Last comes the concrete around the edge.
The digger used a transit to figure out exactly how deep to make it.
They carried 20 dump truck loads of dirt out of the back yard.
We hope it will be finished by the time you all show up for Shelley and Rob's wedding!
The last picture is the finished pool hole, looking from the fartherst corner toward the house.
