Permits are in...8/28/2006

We're building a pool in South Florida. Our contractor, Grand Vista Pools, has 9/25/2006 scheduled as our break ground date, and said he'd get it done in about 6 weeks! (that's roughly November 6th) Between now and then, I will be giving you the day by day coverage of what is on our minds as we BUILD our pool!

By the way, this weekend I staked out my yard. It's a good way to see what the pool will look like and helps build excitement. I used concrete screws as anchors in my existing patio, and used galvanized railroad tie spikes I picked up at ACE hardware (www.acehardware.com), and ran string all the way around. It's a great way to figure out what your new patio furniture will look like, and how much you will really need (we have a habit of over buying).
