Good news--The pool filled up to the required depth in exactly 72 hours.
We rented a meter that measured how much water we used and don't have to pay sewage on it.
The Bobcat was back and moved all the ground to where it needed to be so we can landscape and plant grass. The cement around the pool looks great and we were ready to get the pool running and get it cleaned with a lesson from the pool people on Wednesday.
Bad news--after hooking up the pool pump and running it for half an hour, we discovered the pool was loosing water even when adding more with a hose. We lost over 7 inches of water in that time. They found the problem. A pvc water piece must have broken and the water was leaking out from that piece. They are now breaking up a whole section on concrete to get to the broken piece and replace it. That means more cement to be poured and some of the previous steps to open up the pool being repeated.
Good news--we won't have to pay for extra water and will be reimbursed for anything that is the fault of the pool people.
Good news--Our fence is almost finished. We have grass seed down and hay on top of it.
Tom is going out of town today for a few days and is taking part of today off to get more grass seed down so we can cover it with more hay so Glori won't be walking in mud till the grass comes up.
More later.

Wow! What a hassle, but the end result will be so worth it!! Just picture yourself tanning by your new pool next summer! Thanks for keeping us updated! Love your new music feature:)
Thanks for adding new pics. Can't believe a pipe was busted underneath the cement. What a hassle, but glad that they were able to find it. See you this weekend.
