COPING WITH DEADLINE

Contractors working with Zodiac Pools out of SangerTexas, finished installing edge coping and tile on the Spur swimming pool last week. Electrical connections and pump mechanisms were also underway. Next up, the pool basin will be finished with a coat of white plaster—at which time, because plaster cures even under water, the pool can begin being filled. Concrete deck, shade structures, lifeguard stands, slide, float rope, and handrails also remain to be added. The entire pool and deck will be enclosed with an attractive black iron “no-climb” fence. | THE TEXAS SPUR
