More progress!

Wow, I tell you, this company we're using does NOT mess around when they build a pool. They started just 9 days ago and have put in several 12+ hour days so far. They sprayed the gunite last Friday and today started working on the stone and tile. We are loving how it is coming together.

The stone around the hot tub is amazing and we think they'll get going on the waterfall tomorrow

We're already enjoying the nice slow pace of summer break. Jakob started his summer session of horseback riding today and the little J's and I made our weekly pilgrimage to Cost*co and then got them all summer haircuts. I have a feeling that Cost*co may be seeing me a lot more often once this pool is up and running and we're having people over to help us enjoy it. We don't have a lot planned for the rest of the week and I LOVE that!

I promise to post pictures of something more exciting than our pool later this week, but for now, that's all I've got. Have a good night!

This pool is going to be gorgeous. I have never seen anything like it. Typical pools here don't have little hot tubs connected to them and they are all square! (Ok not all, but most!) It's shaping up!
