Wow!!! You kept some people employed didn't you? Looks wonderful. I do not want to even guess the cost with all those retaining walls. I bet it is all worth it now though. Chris
Re: Photos of my DIY gunite pool
Incredible! The end result is awesome. The photo story was great and I enjoyed viewing it. It was tough to tell exactly what your plan was in the first few pages but it all came together in the end. You made great use of your "hill" in the back yard. Waterfall to the spa to the waterfall to the pool. Couldn't get any nicer. That was some plumbing job too.
I am jealous,
Brian

I want to know. It would be good for others who may be interested to realize the cost savings with such a project. Looks really good!!!!!
Re: Photos of my DIY gunite pool
That was a fantastic photographic history of events that led up to a wonderful completion. I love it, the whole setup came together perfectly from the looks of it. Anyone done the high dive off of the hot tub yet? :o
