Re: SeanB.'s Pool Build
Nothing to take pictures of, but they are still making progress. The clean up crew came yesterday morning to pick up after the gunite shoot and this morning, the electricians are out back working. I'll add more pictures once the tile and coping start.

Over at my place, we're in the middle of plumbing.
My backyard looks like a bomb went off back there.

Re: SeanB.'s Pool Build
Ha ha, sounds familiar. My advice, if you don't already have some, get you a $15 pair of rubber boots at WalMart. I can just slip them on to go in the backyard to water the gunite or just look around. When you're done, you can just hose them off. Plus, I think I look really cool in my shorts and knee high rubber boots. lol.

Those in the know call them "swampers".
I use the same fashion designer as you, apparently.
I only wish my black socks came up above the top of the boots.

Re: SeanB.'s Pool Build
So, I finally got around to taking a picture of the completed gunite. As you can see, I just finished wetting it down and the water is starting to accumulate in the deep end.
A little closer:
And here's one of the equipment with electrical completed. The box lying there is the blower for the spa and the cable hanging on the back is the cable which was cut and has since been repaired. I'm going to wait until the rest is completed before burying it again.:

Re: SeanB.'s Pool Build
Looks great, Sean!
Man, they really shoehorn all that equipment in there, don't they?

Re: SeanB.'s Pool Build
I noticed that there wasn't any backwash valving or plumbing in your pictures. OR do they add/complete that after the pool is done?

Re: SeanB.'s Pool Build
Ahh, didn't think about cartridge. I thought it looked like a D.E. filter.
