Beach, it took forever! The hole was dug the second last week in March, the pool was operational on 22 May. The pool company estimated about 10 days from start to finish, however the day after the hole was dug the rain started, if seemed like it rained every other day until the pool was complete...as a matter of fact it still is raining a few days a week. We joked when if first started to rain that it wouldn't be open until after Memorial day, it was nearly a reality. We still haven't really enjoyed it because of all the rain and cool weather, the water is still at 74 degrees.
