Renovation // Transformation, This Modern Life

Pool Pix

On Monday, we passed final inspection on the pool… which means I feel a bit more comfortable writing about it. One of the side-effects of growing up in the American South is a predisposition for silly superstitions.

It's still an unfinished project, but having a final visit from the inspector is a good milestone. I have to admit, though, our inspector (Ron) was one of the most helpful folks in the entire process. Aside from the immense expense of the permit (a double-digit percentage of the budget) and the general anxiety of the process, it was generally good to see him so that I could ask questions, etc.

Oh, on to the pictures. Remember, the deck isn't finished and the white tubes in the ground are for the deck supports — worth noting, too, is that we took out quite a bit of concrete around the fire-pit, too… eventually, benches will go there. More pictures after the jump.

Renovation // Transformation, This Modern Life

Four Feet Deep

The liner went in today… woohoo — there's water in the pool (I can officially call it that now). I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that the pump and filter system will hold water, so to speak. That will go live (or not) tomorrow.

Greg Ross of Vinyl Pool Systems came by to install the liner. It's the sort of thing I could do myself after seeing a pro do it, but I'm glad I had him stop by — it's the thing that you'll notice the most and it's nice to have it done right.

Next up: Deck…
