New Year...New Hole...

...in the ground...

The poolman cometh...


Two days after Xmas I woke up to find this outside the backdoor.  Doesn't everyone want a cement mixer for Xmas?

The Pool Dudes were here most of that week...


...removing the old liner.

When the liner was installed years ago it was a very dark blue.  Once Pool Dudes drained the pool you could see that below the water line the liner had been bleached white!  Can you image what that shit would do to a bad dye job!  I may need to rethink my Miss Clairol color choice!


After the liner was removed...


...we were left with an ugly concrete shell...

they framed for the new steps in the shallow end of the pool.



Today they removed all the framing, including around the new party shelf we added in the deep end...


One will now be able to sit in the deep end and dangle your limbs in the water while sipping a summer cocktail. 


The shelf is large enough for two people or three if your closely aquainted...


The new entrance steps are SO much better...allowing me to gracefully glide into the water.


The dudes will be installing the liner soon...I hope...

  2. great steps and love the "party shelf"!! though I'm thinking those sitting on the party shelf just might end up in the deep end after a couple of cocktails!! what color of liner did you decide to go with? can't wait to see the first pool party pics with the new pool!
