Wow, Shotcrete!

The pictures really say it all! It's starting to look like a real pool :-). They started the shotcrete around 1 and finished about 5:30. It was fun to watch them spray it in and form the benches and spa. Let me know what you think. Just click on the comments button below.

Wed June 13

Just in case anyone is actually reading this...No I'm not ignoring you :-) The truth is that not too much has happened the past few days. They did get all of the plumbing in, but that doesn't make for terribly exciting pictures, so I haven't taken any.

The good news is that we passed the first City inspection today, so they are going to shoot the gunnite (Shotcrete) at noon tomorrow! Now THAT is exciting! Unfortunately, I'm not going to be here for it. I have a tennis match down in Del Mar in the morning and then I'm heading to the main office of the pool company to pick out the coping (flagstone) and tile. Wish me luck! I'll post some pictures tomorrow!

p.s. Happy Birthday Keslie!!

Thursday...they are adding the steel. It's pretty cool to watch.

Wed....above is a long-shot pic. The top raised part closest will be the spa.

Tuesday, the hole is dug! See Sarah and her friend Claire in the "deep end." It will be 6 ft deep when the pool is finished, but looks much deeper right now without all the steel, plaster, etc.

The picture on top is Sarah and Leah with all their neighborhood friends! :-)

Monday they actually started digging the hole. Here's a couple more pictures.

Check out one of the few big rocks they dug out!

Sorry I haven't posted in the last few days, I've had company in town (Hi Mom, Dad and Auntie!) I've been taking pictures, but I just haven't had time to upload them. So here goes...
