    North Phx pool/backyard BUILD

    Getting close to finishing our project. Got the bar mostly constructed and hosted my FIL's 60th birthday last weekend! Still have a lot of little things to do but the hard part (expensive part!) is over!

    North Phx pool/backyard BUILD

    It has been interesting! We are very happy with the result and the space it opened up in the yard by moving the pool. All filled up and running. Even had some swimmers!

    We wanted the light to shine away from the house so it wasnt blinding/glare-y and more for ambiance. I guess we wont know till its full of water and we can turn it on!

    Does anyone know what type of caulking product I should use to seal/attach my scupper pots to the supply pipe? I am guessing it needs to have some resistance to chlorine and salt.

    Well, the sheer is about 4" off center. I think the plumber ran his pipe up a little off which caused the steel guy to set up the rebar a bit off center....and so on. So my question is, now that shotcrete is done, can I cut back the concrete to recenter the sheer and then backfill with grout...

    Thanks for the feedback. The new pool will sit west of the old one with about 8ft from inside edge to inside edge. I am counting on using the dirt from the new dig to fill the old to cut down on some of the cost. Fortunately O dont have any major roots or anything where the new pool is gonna go...
