Pool – Step 1








The final surface was sprayed onto the surface of the pool today. Before beginning, the workmen had to catch the 100 frogs that were living at the bottom of the pool (notice the little frogs in the first photo). At first, the surface was a strange shade of blue, almost plastic looking; then the surface was sprayed with water so the top layer washed away so that the ”pebbles” embedded in the material were visible (the official color is “aqua blue”). Tomorrow, the surface will be acid washed….then the water!!!! Tomorrow will also be the final connection of the water pumps/filters, etc. If you’re interested in reading about the pool surface, check out: www.pebbletec.com/pebble_sheen.aspx
