The pool is in!!!!

I meant to post this before leaving for vacation but never got around to it.  This all happened before leaving.  I'll try posting some videos in another post as well as an update showing what it looked like when I got home.  It was definitely an exciting day when the installation happened.  There was a lot going on, a lot of people, and it was planned and executed perfectly.  The excavator showed up around 8am and the hole was dug in just a few hours.  The pool showed up at 11 and looked much bigger than I thought.  The color is perfect... gray with blue shiny flecks.  It's going to look great.  It was unloaded without any problems.  They lifted it off the truck, set it down, and then lifted it down in the hole.  I did get to see a truck of water get dumped the following morning before leaving for vacation.
