Yes, I'm learning a lot about the pool business in OKC. Apparently there is a pool boom going on this summer and all the subcontractors are working 18 hour days trying to keep up. We had our gunite shot yesterday and while we watched, I spent a lot of time talking to our crew supervisor. I was surprised to learn that he works for several Pool companies and he would have been building my pool even if I had chosen one of two other companies. That was strange but good news because each campany has a very good reputation.

I was told by the owner of another pool company that everyone is very busy and he actually felt that I was getting very good service. So I'm not complaining. Well except for the fact that we don't know what is going to happen until the day before it happens.

My problem has been they show up and ask us how we want things as they are building the pool, not a day or two before. So I told my supervisor that I need him to give me some ideas of how we can make the steps on our padio a couple days before they pour. He understood my frustration and promised he would give us some time.

By the way, I got some great shots of our gunite being shot, poored, or is it sprayed. I will send them as soon as I can get them off the cameria.

have a great week
