The pool is finally up…again!

So, on Tuesday we got the pool liner delivered and that night we also got the sand delivered! We didn’t get quite enough though, so we had to go to Lowes to get more. Then we leveled the box out and it was ready for the pool! We got the pool up and started filling it around 8:30 pm. We let it run all night to save some time. I got up at 7:30 am yesterday (Wednesday) and it was almost filled!! Then, while I was at work, it started to storm and rain. Wait, let me rephrase that, it started to storm and pour!! It was pouring so hard at one point that you couldn’t see out the front windows. It was so windy!!! So that really bummed me out. I was looking forward to jumping in the pool when I got home. It really stank that we just got the pool up and now the weather was preventing us from enjoying it. And it is still preventing me from enjoying it cause it’s kinda cloudy outside right now. I just checked the temperature of the pool and it’s about 72 degrees. That is too cold!!! Oh, but last night, I did get in it for a minute or 2 and it was probably about the same temperature. It was just sprinkling a little bit and there was no lightning or thunder so I decided to get in for a little bit. I didn’t go under or anything, just walked around a little bit. I’m hoping that sometime soon I can actually go swim in it!

So anyway, here is the pool!!

  You can definitely tell that it is a lot more level than it was before. My fiancé said that the one side is off by about 4 inches in one spot and other are off by an inch, but that is a lot better than being off by 7 inches!!

This picture was taken was taken when the pool was up the first time. It was taken from the opposite side than the picture posted above. But you can see how the pool is leaning to the one side

      

Here’s to hoping that I get to swim soon!!! Have a great Thursday everyone!!

The pool is up!!!

Well, the pool is finally up and is in the process of being filled! It is taking a lot longer than I thought it would though! I’m probably going to have to turn off the hose when I leave for work in about an hour. And then I won’t be able to continue to fill it until tomorrow night! Oh well, it will be filled and ready to go by Sunday when my aunt, uncle, and 2 cousins come over for some swimming and a cookout! Although now that I think about it, I think I may want to continue filling it tonight if I can because then that way the filter can run all day so that I can test it, add the right chemicals, and shock it tomorrow night. Then that way it will be completely ready to go for Sunday!

Here are 2 pictures that I took of it earlier this morning shortly after I started filling it.

 

I had to get in it for a little bit because I wanted to make sure that it was level around the edges. That water is cold!!! I got used to it after a while though, so it wasn’t bad. It wasn’t that high yet when I got it, not even up to my knees. And I was only in for about 10 minutes, so it wasn’t that bad. I was worried about the side the closest to the house because the poles didn’t want to stand up straight. I texted my fiancé and told him that and he said it just needed more water in it. Well, he was right!!

Now that the pool is finally up and almost ready for swimming, I am super excited!!!! I’m going to be in it every single day that I can!!! The next 2 months are going to be the best 2 months of the summer!!!

Update…

I just got back from getting the building permit!!!! So tonight, after we take Tigger to the vet, we are going to set up the pool!! I already called to schedule the inspection and that will be getting done at 8:30 tomorrow morning!!! I’m so excited!!!!! I’m going to start filling it as soon as the inspector leaves tomorrow and maybe, just maybe, I’ll get to swim in it a little bit before going to work!!! Ahhh….you have no idea how happy I am right now!! I just wanted to share that with you all, so that’s all for now!!!
