The excavation started yesterday, Friday and they are anticipating Gunite next Tuesday. We'll see how it goes. The weather has been very good here for the past week or so.

Roger,

Congratulations!!!! Nice design and looks like it will tuck in your backyard with room to spare. What are all of the specs on your pool? Keep the pics coming.

The gunite is complete and the equipment is installed. Next step is coping, tile, and electrical work.

I have a sprinkler in the pool to wet the gunite every 6 hours or so.

We're debating Primera stone too, unfortunately there are very few pics of it availble, and the ones on wetedge's website are hard to judge by... My PB is filling a pool this week with it though, so we'll get to see at least one in person.
