After a couple of days away from home, I decided on Monday, July 21st I was gonna bite the bullet and try to finish the pool. I had to call the water delivery guy first to make sure I could get water that day. And when I was told he could bring it that afternoon, I suddenly felt the pressure of being ready. Just a small detail of getting the vinyl liner into place before the water truck got there...no big deal. And in the end, it wasn't. I was able to unwrap the liner and get it locked into the track along the edge of the pool all by myself. I even had about 18" of water from the garden hose in the bottom of it and had the main drains cut out and installed before the water arrived.
As you will see from the pictures, the girls were patiently waiting....as if I didn't have enough pressure to get it done. As far as, even while filling the pool from the truck, you couldn't keep those girls away from the water. It goes without saying, they were excited.
So by about 3pm, we had a pool full of water (although freezing cold), and two very happy little girls which has made this whole journey worth the effort.
