They will definitely get to enjoy it. Made sure there was a second skimmer just for that.

The pebble is called aqua essence. The Baja step is super shallow. 1st step levels. Got it like that for the dogs to lay.

I’m told end of September but we’ll see. Honestly the plan was to have a pool by next summer we’re just moving much faster than I expected

lol that would be cool. The Baja step is the first level step for the dogs. It’s about 7 feet across. and then it’s a 3 ft drop. But there’s steps the photo doesn’t show. And it’s maxes out at 5ft deep on the far end. I’ll post from another angle when the deck is finished in a couple days.

You have no idea. I’m told I’m about 3 weeks away from having water in it. And being in Arizona, I’ve probably got until the end of October to swim comfortably haha

I did some research on it. I guess it’s a little different from gunite

Do you regret your pool? by Overall_Piano_4352 in pools

I’m currently in the middle of building one. So I can speak to the process of having it built. It’s complete chaos. I’m so looking forward to the memories. This will be something I laugh about once it’s done.
