Day 98, 6/22/2020, Pool guys came to set up the pool for us, Kimmy, Jared, and Jacob dug more holes for deck posts,

The pool installers came and put the circle down, then smoothed the inside sand really good.  It  didn't take long because the girls had it pretty smooth and nice and level
Next the pool walls went up 
The walls are pretty high.  Could only see the guys head 
Liner went in
Side posts went on and put stuff around edge of top rail
View from upstairs
Used a vacuum to suck the air out so the liner wouldn't have wrinkle 
Water going in the pool
The workers did a great job and were pretty fast at doing it
Bill by the pool...it's filling with water now

Jacob digging his first hole today
Jacob putting a block in the second hole he dug, Adam just got back from going with Papa,  Jared working away
Eli...he was pretty happy that his caterpillar became a butterfly today and he could release it and watch it fly away

Jacob working hard.  Papa Bill just got back with the posts for the holes
Lettuce from our garden
Read our Bibles.  I read mine outside and Bill inside.  We ate our oatmeal, then went to have our taxes done.  Got home and Bill decided to take my car for an oil change.  While he was gone, the pool installers got here.  I called Bill to let him know.  The line was so line for oil changes, that he decided to just come home.  The pool guys were asking me some questions so I called Bill to make sure it was what he wanted and he said he was only 5 minutes away.  He got here and took care of whatever questions they had.  They started at around 12:30.  They got everything in the trailer unpacked so they could set it up.  Bill realized the Pool Place had given us the wrong filter and pump, so he called them and they brought the right one.  The guys sure were fast and did a great job.  The one guy lives in Beaverton, north of where the dams broke.  His river is pretty dried up on his property, but he was thanking the Lord that he hadn't put his boat in the water yet.  They left around 4.  We had to fill it to where they had duct tape inside and then turn off their vacuum and take the hose out.  We started filling it again after that.  Kimmy, Jared, Jacob, Adam and Eli came over. Jacob, Jared and Kimmy all dug the holes for the deck post.  Adam helped Papa get the posts to go in the holes.  They all worked so hard.  Jacob is the hardest working kid I have ever seen and the most joyful and cute.  He dug two of the deep holes. Vikki, Peyton and Isaac stopped over for a few minutes to see the pool.  They couldn't stay long boo hoo.  We had no contact pizza from Papa Johns's delivered.  We all ate and enjoyed the pizza.   At 11 p.m., I checked the water and it's about up to my knees now.  Going to bed....should be close to full in the morning.  So thankful to have a pool to enjoy and also have family enjoy it.
