Pool progress

Today we started the plaster process. It took an entire day for Josh and I to find the Acytl 60 that we needed to add to the portland cement, rock, and lumite to fulfill the necessary ingredients for the plaster. Since most of these pools are built on the West coast it has made it difficult to find the products on the East coast! Thankfully, Josh's brother Tim came to our rescue today and helped plaster. Josh, Tim our hired help and I plastered while Isaac and our nephew Gabe shoveled mortar. Olivia took a 3 hour nap today so that helped! We got our first layer of plaster on and the fabric mesh on. Now two more coats on the outside and two coats on the inner walls!

Did you know that square object is called a 'hawk'?

This is beside the subject but I thought it was blog worthy. Sorry if it's TMI :)


Olivia pee peed in the potty and said "pee pee"!
