Nice view. That will be really nice when your pool is done.

It is now day 13 of the pool build and a lot has happened. On day 7 of the pool build my poor PB was admitted to hospital ICU with Bilateral Pneumonia!!! Even from hospital she was responding to emails within an hour instead of her usual 5 mins and she kept the pool on schedule, amazing. Since the last post the electricians have been, a clean up crew and the tiling, coping and moss rock weeping wall is finished.

Spa end of day two of tile and rock work.

Installing the propane tank for the pool and spa heater.

Nice pool!

This pool is being built so fast it is hard to keep up posting the progress. Day 13 the decking crew arrived and laid the drainage followed by the pea gravel, leaving room for flagstone inserts. Day 15 of the pool build the tiling crew came back to finish the flagstone inserts in the decking and the sun shelf. Day 17 Modern Method Gunite arrived two days ahead of schedule to install the Blue Granite Pebble Sheen with shells. Tomorrow, Day 18 of the pool build, is acid wash and we start filling the pool. We should be swimming after Pool School on day 21 of pool build!! Amazing.

Day 18 Start to fill the pool.

Day 19 The pool is full of water, exciting. The clean up crew did such a good job you would not believe a new pool had just been installed. Pool start up scheduled for day 20 of pool build.
Well done Best Backyard Pools, Kathy, Johnny and Linda. Thanks also to Melissa and especially George at Modern Method Gunite with help in choosing the Pebble Sheen color, the hardest decision of the whole pool build!
Love how the pool looks.

Great clean up, ready for landscaping.

End of day 19.

Can I just say wow!
Beautiful setting, great pool, and amazing working timeframe. Enjoy!

And may I say something about the pool owner...a delight to work with, enthusiastic and someone who cares about the workers on the job site. She provided drinks, snacks and lunches every day. You don't realize how meaningfull that can be. She treats the crews like she would like to be treated if she were in their place. Great person!

Landscaping done.

Beautiful! Setting and pool.

Cypress, you probably have found out that you can post photobucket pics from your iPad...but, you need to do it through the free Photobucket app.

Thanks Maddielee I managed to figure it out using photobucket and my iPad.

Can highly recommend Best Backyard Pools of Houston for anyone considering a pool builder in Houston. Not only did Kathy do a great job building the pool in an amazing time frame, 20 days from first dig to water in the pool, her response time to resolve post completion issues has been equally impressive. I have had a few issues come up, none of which were Kathy's fault but she responded immediately by phone or email and had the necessary tradespeople out within a day to resolve the problem, fantastic service.

Very nice!!!!

Good Lawd that is an absolutely gorgeous pool. Congratulations!!
