The Grandchildrens Pool is done! Again...WINK, WINK

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

Pool is done and my doodle grandson is enjoying it immensley, (suspiciously,he's only in one of these pictures).

Murphy loves the water and there has been quite a bit of training going on to keep him out of it unless invited, but we have about a 90% success rate after only 3 weeks.

Bella still is very apprehensive and will go down the first step onto the first ledge which is an 18 inch play pool area, for the doodles  grandchildren, but unless we bring her in further she wants no part of it.

I am still trying to download a video of Murphy jumping in and fetching a ball, but not having a lot of luck tonight. I'll keep trying.

It has been a great experience to build this pool and it was completed in 3 weeks and 2 days from the first picture of the digging. and there wasn't one hiccup throughout the whole process. So here is the  doodle  grandchildrens pool from beginning to end.

 First day of digging

 Steel installed, shotcrete and tiles and getting grandson's approval.

 

Then filling with Murphy being the first one in and Bella in her usual position, OUTSIDE of the pool

I have loads more but you get the gist of it and the blog isn't letting me add anymore.

Thanks for all your interest. I am sure my doodles grandchildren will enjoy this for many years to come.

The pool turned out just beautiful, Sue!  I love the picture with Murphy in the water and Bella looking down on him! That would be a great one for a caption contest!  Glad the installation went so smoothly...now for the fun...

Plans do change and who knows, they may change again?  We are just starting to plan more landscaping, but our season to plant won't start for a few more weeks at least. Still 100 degrees in daytime.

So jealous!  Years ago, I designed landscaping for our house that included a pool.  It took years (like over 20) before any true landscaping was done (we live in the country so we didn't offend any neighbors by our au natural landscape) and by then the plans had changed to a design WITHOUT a pool.  Oh well!!!

Dori, after you two trips to the public pool, I would definitely say she needs a pool! We plan on staying in this house a very long time, so that is the only reason I added one. Looked forever for a house with one, but it just didnt have everything else we wanted and a pool is easy enough to add.

Hope you get a house with one soon as it is just great exercise for them!
