Is there going to be a raised beam in the back? It looks as if the pool is a little underground.

The pool level has been set to match up with an existing patio that we are going to have covered with flagstone. The side of the pool that appears to be under the ground level will be a 3-ton waterfall and accent wall with boulders all the way around to the spa. The PB said that he would get gunite sprayed up to that level to meet up with the accent wall.

Does that sound right?

Here are the pictures of the plumbing stub out and the steel work done today. We are the first on the list for gunite tomorrow.

If everything goes right then we will be ready for beginning stone work over the weekend.

What part of Spring are you in?

Do you mind if I ask what kind of pricing you got for this build?

The gunite crew showed before sunrise this morning and asked us to move our cars across the cul-de-sac. We didnt have near enough drinks to accomodate the gunite crew, but they didnt seem to mind.

If all goes well the stone work will be done by Tuesday and the decking guys can come in after that and finish up sometime next week or early the week after that.

We are just shy of a week into our pool build and a lot of good things are happening. The mason's were here today, and they got most of the rock wall done and they completed the waterfall portion. We'll have some new pictures up shortly. We couldn't be any happier with all of the progress that has been made and our builder seems to believe that if they keep up this pace we'll be swimming in less than 2 weeks!!!

Coping and tile were done yesterday. Decking was framed and poured today. We still have the flagstone inlays in the decking and the flagstone covering on the patio to finish tomorrow.

Once all of that is complete we get to start putting some of the yard back together and wait for the pebbletek this weekend. We can see the light at the end of the relatively short tunnel.

We are extremely excited and already looking forward to the landscaping and enjoying a few drinks in the new pool.
