Gunite Complete

The crew was hard at work and made huge progress since this morning. Believe gunite is complete.

Gunite Gang Begins

The Gunite crew got to the house bright and early (6:45am) to begin the process. Grabbed these quick pics before heading to work. Can't wait to see what it looks like later.

Preplumbing the Spa

The crew was over this morning to do the last thing before gunite......plumb the spa. You'll also notice that the wood forming around the back of the pool. This will be used to shoot the gunite against.
Gunite is scheduled for Fri so pretty excited for that milestone.

Steel Almost Complete - Bonding Time

All the steel with the exception of the stairs is complete. The electrician also came by today to electrically bond the pool. That means you don't supposedly get cooked in the event of lightening or other electrical issues.

You'll see the copper bonding in the right photo

Kids Like the New SIgn

In case anyone was wondering who is building our pool.....

I call the past two days the double S days. Skimmers came on Weds and Steel began on Thursday.

The skimmers arrive...

In comes the steel

Pool Dug in 48 Hours

Wow, what 48 hours can do to your yard. On Sunday, the pool was drawn out on our lawn. By Tuesday mid afternoon, all rough site work was complete and pool shape was dug. We actually had to pull back some of our yard because of an easement issue and also do some grading since once side of the yard was four feet higher than the other side. We split the difference and are setting the pool grade at 2 feet elevation.

Sunday

Monday - Digging Begins

Tuesday Morning - Digging the Pool Hole

Tuesday Afternoon - Rough grading and rough pool dig complete

Pool Drawn Out

Our pool builder sprayed out the pool yesterday in prep for the build to start on Monday. I traced it over so you can see it better.

Will be shifting it back a bit. Here are a couple of designs

 

Our Unilock has arrived!

The truck came today to drop off 600SF of Brussels block and 1100 SF of Umbriano.
