When we bought our current house, the goal was to install a pool at some point. We chose this particular home in part because the back yard would accommodate an inground pool nicely.

After first day of digging (Monday 8/25). First pic is where a hot tub will eventually be situated:


After second day (Tuesday):


After installing the pool wall forms on the third day (Wednesday):


Not much was done yesterday. Waiting on footings inspection today, so not much getting done today either. Hoping to backfill and get electrical work done next week.

Here's what it likes like as of Thu. 8/28. Got the footing inspection Fri 8/29, so work should start back up on Tuesday:


Backfilling is complete; pump and heater is in place. Waiting on first electrical inspection:

That's going to look awesome with a couple of gallons of laundry detergent in it when the local kids find out nobody is there handing out candy on Halloween.

Hey! It's been years since "doing laundry" meant rubbing the clothes on rocks in the stream to get the clothes clean. Annoyed
