Week 2 of Counting Down to a Backyard Escape
Dirt's been flying, large equipment is coming and going. Plenty of excitement around as we're counting down to a backyard escape. It's week 2 of building a pool so let's take a look to see what progress has been made.
This is week 2 in a series, "What's it like to build a pool?" It is not sponsored by any pool company. It's simply my personal account of the the good, the bad and whatever that happens as we try to have a pool by summer.

Here's what we're working toward. Think it will be ready in time for summer?
{fingers crossed}
They dug the hole Week 1. And then they put in they "framed it out" in wood which is what you see here...
and here.
The next day the steel re-bar went in.
Then they put plastic all around it to get ready for the cement shell.
"Shooting the shell" was a busy day. 3 truck loads of "shot-crete" went into the big hole in our backyard.
And by the end of week 2 we could actually start to tell we were actually getting a pool.
