The pool day 1

What a crazy 2 days we have had at the lot. First, this awful North wind has delayed our roof. It is so windy here that the workers cannot stand on the trusses to put the sheeting down because they will blow away!! So, it looks like we will have to wait until Tuesday for things to change on the house.

But what a difference two days can make in the backyard! On Wednesday morning we got a call that the gunite crew was at our lot waiting for the inspector to give the OK for them to start the gunite. We were shocked because they were not supposed to gunite until Thursday morning. Since we love to watch and photography every little thing we jumped in the car and headed up there. the first thing they did was the spa. I have to admit that once the spa was filled with gunite there was no denying that this thing is big! It can comfortably sit 8 adults with each person having their own jet! They then moved on to the pool. As they began shaping the walls all i could say is this thing is going to be HUGE!!

Here are a few pics from day 1.

Beginning in the deep end!

Chris asking Frank "Just how much glass tile are we going to need?" (he is such a good hubby...he is letting me get the glass tile I am in love with!!)



Upclose on how much rebar is used and how gunite is applied.
