At this point it seems easier to post by the week since the pool is really moving along! They finished the framing, applied the gunite, which is the cement that is blown in to form the pool and back filled, so we now have a yard once again. The dogs, Stuart, Cooper and Riley are happiest of all. The Cavalier’s who are more adventuresome, both have climbed down the steps into the empty pool. Looking at it, we almost feel like we could be going swimming before the really hot weather arrives. Rich is also really excited about the pool and vows to swim everyday. As you can see, he is already getting started!

Oooooh, can’t wait to see further developments! It looks huge (I’m guessing the water filling it in will make it seem less so). Exciting!!
Samarra! Thanks for commenting, it will be 16 x 30 about average for a pool. I do think you’re right, it looks bigger empty.
Can’t wait to see it in person if we come down later this spring. What a project! Good thing is that all the mess is outside and not inside. It sure has progressed quickly, hasn’t it. Looking forward to your next set of pics.
Thanks Sue, your pool floats will be waiting for you!
