Hello Everyone & Thanks KimKats for suggesting that I start this Build Thread
1st I'm proud to say that I am addicted to this site and proud to be an TFP Supporter!!!
Back in October of 2014 we started researching and getting bids on Fiberglass and Gunite pools. We decided to go with a Gunite pool after discussing with previous family and friends who own pools. On May 20th we broke ground on our 15 x 30 rectangular pool. So far we had a delay for a day due to rain. This delay caused the inspection for the Belly Steel/Bon to fail caused the inspector could not verify that the drains were a min of 3ft apart since the ground was too wet. This was no biggy since he came back the next day and it passed. Then on May 26th we received gunite and now its the dreaded wait! We now have to water the gunite twice a day for the next 10 days. The next stage will be electrical, code plumbing, tile and Coping as well as city inspections as applicable.
This has been the most exciting and smooth experience so far. Thank you all who stopped by to see my build and enjoy the pictures. Looking forward to send more updates as we progress.
Here are the renderings we received
Here is a pic before the dig!
Then we came home to this
