    We made it to gunite... finally!

    My plywood forms were similar to that, but they were all nailed together. Some of those plywood sheets look loose, unless they aren't done with them yet. And, yes, the mucking out takes a long time as it very tedious work.

    We made it to gunite... finally!

    If it makes you feel better (it probably doesn’t, I know), when it rains that hard it likely doesn’t matter what level of prep you do. This was my prep and we still have massive cave ins that required large sections of the earthen walls to be rebuilt with plywood before gunite. Even worse, my...

    We made it to gunite... finally!

    If the voids are limited to what are in your pics, it’s probably not a big deal to just fill with gunite. If there are larger ones, I would at least inquire with the builder.

    We made it to gunite... finally!

    Yes they should remove that debris under the rebar to a depth of like three or four inches. The rebar needs to be in the middle of the gunite. When it rained for days and the bottom of my pool filled with mud to the bottom of the rebar, a crew spent two full days “de-mucking” it by hand...

    LED Bubbler light pattern?

    It just mostly goes up, but it is bright - brighter than all my microbrites in the pool and basin. Here are my three pentair bubbler lights on my swim shelf with the bubbler off. It can replace pool lights on a swim shelf, but that is personal preference. Sorry, I am not a great night...

    Piers or no piers in North Texas?

    It’s all over the map in north Texas. We did fully engineered piers because the pool, feature wall, cabana etc are all one monolithic tied-in structure. Unfortunately, when they went to do the concrete piers they hit water even through my immediate neighbor did not hit water on his piers/pool...

    Dallas (Southlake) Area New Build - July 2022 - Construction Thread

    Some final pics. Ignore the 14 as we are having a belated birthday party here today. Still have a few small finishing touches like the permanent bench cushions, some additional glass fencing around the back deck edge and some patio furniture that is taking like five months to come in, but this...
