Gunite went in last Monday 12/27. I have been watering it 4 times/day. We made some minor adjustments- moved the spa stair to the corner. Ended up making the fill shared spa wall 8" so it would stay flush. The gunite foreman communicated very well. They did a great job.

My engineer called for an 8” spa beam and it is raised 6”. I realize it really isn't possible to put all the plumbing within the spa wall. So I am looking to use the waterway mini gunite jets 210-3400. I dont know if I should try to bring the 1.5” airline into the spa beam just to do a hartford...

12/8 layout, 12/9 dig, 12/10 steel. Bonding inspection passed 12/13. Just waiting on Gunite now. Either Thursday this week or next Monday depending on weather.

Subbed out to get the old concrete slab removed and hauled away. I overlooked the fact that it had an 8"x8" footer around the perimeter with a single #5. Took half hour or so longer than planned.

doing my own Demo, 12/1/21

I ended up having to get a certified pool contractor as a sub. I may take it up after the fact. But my wife is due (due date today) and we have been doing this process since February. The pool contractor also has his electrical. And he is willing to work with me as an owner builder-take...

My permit has been issued. I picked it up today. I went ahead and removed my existing screen cage and some landscaping. A crew is coming Saturday to remove some existing concrete. The LDS crew I have is telling me they do not preplumb the spa when it's 8" walls. Can anyone tell me if they have...

As I progress, I do have some plumbing questions. I am in Florida, so my engineering plans call for only an 8" spa wall. my spa is 7'6"x7'6". I am putting in 5 therapy jets. I am looking at using the balboa 10-5100 (or the cmp 23300-100-000, or waterway 210-4120-these all appear the same). Looks...

Well, this is still in permitting as expected. The county holds that I need a "certified pool contractor" listed as one of my subs, as well as a "licensed electrician". I understand the electrician part. I am however having a difficult time finding a local certified pool contractor who is...

As I move through this Journey I may start a new thread. But for now a question regarding subs: I have layout, dig, steel being quoted with some rough plumbing. Is it typical for them to ask for a % up front? ie: they are asking for 25% up front. I figured most subs would require payment right...

Which subcontractors were you required to submit forms for?

Yes, I filled out the owner builder affadavit. They accepted my plans for permit, however my sub forms require a "licensed pool contractor" as one of the subs.

Thank you for this, I am not up 2 levels to "manager of inspection services", I believe I still have a few more levels to go. I appreciate all the feedback and have used it in composing my emails.

Thank you for this.

I will not be doing the digging myself. I will sub out pretty much all aspect. And yes they will be licensed.
