Well the big day finally arrived. Time to fill the pool with 22,500 Gallons of agua through a garden hose! This should take about 20 hours.
The funny thing I noticed about filling our pool is that we need to check the water level about every 30 minutes. I don't know why. I don't mean just looking out the window. I mean putting on the flip flops and going to the edge of the pool and staring down at the growing reservoir. Maybe we want to assure ourselves that progress is being made.We were also instructed that a permanent water line could form if for some reason the water stopped flowing before the pool filled to the tile line. Checking progress covered this possibility.
The hose does not look up to the task! It looks more like a piece of hair in a sink.
The pool now has some interesting reflective properties due to the darker surface material.

The spa with a new dam wall.
I really like the tile work in and around the skimmer. The water look so blue and inviting.
The steps seem to be inviting you down into the tranquil waters.
The early morning sun highlights the deco tile interspersed on the riser. Such a different look that the blue 3" tiles.
The surface colors and the reflections are truly amazing at the time of morning. The pool seems to be saying dive in.
A new look to the Boizelle resort and health spa! We look forward to entertaining family and friends in the years to come.

The pool looks great Dad. I really like the colors. Now that the pool is resurfaced, can Mom swim in it without problem?
It looks awesome, Dad! We can't wait to try it out (the hot tub at least). You're right about the reflection - I've never seen it so clearly. I think you guys made a good choice.
Doesn't matter how cold, I'm diving in this winter!
Jon, your mom has not been in the pool yet so we don't know how she will react. We were in the spa this evening and your mom felt a litte itchy. The itching is brought on by the heat and not so much the water, although if the chemicals are not balanced right, then she can be extra irritated.
Lauren and Erik, you are welcome to try out the new pool. I suspect that the water temperature will be in the 50s by Christmas but Erik you are welcome to dive in. Some of our cold weather relatives do just that. I have thought about heating the pool if there is a chance that the day time temps are unseasonably warm. Otherwise the spa will be open.
I like the colors also. I go outside now and then and just stare into the pool to see the colors, reflections and shadows. At some times during the day the water color looks as blue as a popsickle. At other times the color looks darker and reminds of a Japanese reflecting pool.
