Filtering and filling.

Water is running through the filters in the equipment room as the pool fills up.
Steps finished.

Steps, tile, handrail and of course water in the pool - always a nice finishing touch!
Cover Installed.

Safety mesh cover keeps debris out, helps protect the pool in winter and also helps prevent animals and people from falling in.
Almost there.

Beautiful blue ski day, pool and decking look good. Amenities and furnishings will really top the area off nicely!
Night view.

Pool lights functioning, creating a nice, night ambience.

Clear!

Jobsite cleared, pool washed and ready for plaster.
Plastering begins.

Walls are plastered first. Plaster waterproofs the pool itself.
Over half way done.

Walls and steps are finished, the floor is nearly complete.

Waterline tile.

Step up!

Waterline tile turned out nicely along the edges and curve of the steps.
Close up!

Detailed picture of the tile and coping.
Cope with it!

One of the purposes of coping (besides providing a nice, finished touch around the pool perimeter) is protection of the pool walls. Water that is splashed out should flow away.
Lots of cutting.

Superb coping cuts.
Wrapping up the tile work.

A nice picture of waterline tile around the steps along with the tiles on each step (helps with depth perception).

Valves Installed

Valves installed and pipes are labeled.
PH & ORP Sensors installed.

Proper chemical balance is critical. PH indicates acidity and ORP measures general water quality and gives insight into the overall chlorine level in a pool.
Equipment Room

Backwash plumbed.

Filter.

Gravel and sand are added to the filter and plumbing is complete.
