I'm well underway and before we spray cement I have a question or two. That I'll ask in a followup post. First some pool particulars and pics of the progress...
- In-ground gunite pool with 18" raised bond beam to deck level along the back and a raised spa 18" above the deck.
- Approx 672 sq ft. It's around 18 or 20X40. Maybe 25,000 or 30,000 gallons. Not really sure yet.
- Beach entry. Spa will have cascading ledger stone waterfall.
- Not sure what finish I'm going to use. PebbleTec-like will work, but I think I might go with the finer "sheen" finish.
- Going to use Jandy equipment:
- 400K natural gas heater
- 580sq ft cartridge filter
- 3HP ePump for filtration (maybe 2HP... still pondering)
- 3HP Stealth pump for spa jets
- 2HP Stealth water feature booster pump
- Jandy Aqualink RS controls and switches
- Aquapure SW chlorination system (I have mixed feelings on this due to city water waste ordinance)
- Not sure about lights yet. Pool has 2, spa has 1. I'll do colored LED in the spa, but I'm not sure I want that feature in the pool.
Looking towards the back of the house. Putting in a new patio with the pool. Funny thing about the patio... I have an older home and when the masonry crew went to demo the old patio they found 3 additional patio layers underneath. It was an incredible amount of old concrete.

Excavation: One bobcat to rule them all.
