Today I was outside brushing the pool with the long pool brush to get rid of the calcium in it. The county inspectors came in to do their inspection for the barrier (fence) and the electrical and to make sure everything was done according to their county code. Earlier in the process, our pool builders had to move the pump behind the waterfall so I told the electrical inspector (who is picky and reportedly likes to fail people) that it had been moved as he had asked. He asked me if they had moved it back far enough and I said, "Surely they did....why would they want to do it again? That would be a lot of trouble!" He said he didn't have a tape measure with him and I told him I could get him one out of the house and he said, "Nah...surely they measured before they moved it" so .....I think we passed. Our pool builder said that since construction has slowed down they will fail you over and over just to keep charging the builder $25 or $50 per visit. The barrier inspector did give me a sticker which looks to be a seal of approval which tells me that we did pass the fence inspection. I didn't have the locks on the fence gates or the alarms on the doors from the house but I told him we had bought the locks. He asked me if I was going to put them on and I told him that we most certainly are going to put them on and then he handed me the sticker. They were nice and didn't seem to worried so I guess I will wait until I hear from the builder to see if we really did pass inspection!
The pool color is looking much better with each brushing. The calcium is white or yellow and when I move it around with the brush, the filters get a good bit of it. So the color of the pool is beginning to look more dark blue as planned. Also, our filter baskets were full of pine straw after the storm yesterday afternoon so at least I know they are working!
No photos yet today. It is very overcast.
