It's hard to see but the Blue Line is the outline of the pool

That will be a great looking pool. I like that layout.

One suggestion, it does not appear to me that Fido is helping out much....I would take him off the payroll.

Are you kidding, she's the one that came up with the design

It's going to look good. I like the terracing of the decking.

It was really hard to come up with a design for our yard. It is already very small (as alot of newly constructed homes are nowadays) and then with a 10' easement on the back and a sloped yard it was a challenge. I am really happy with the concept our PB came up with. He was also very patient with all of our outlandish ideas which we usually ended up not liking when conceptualized. We always ended up going with PB's suggestions which seemed to be more useful and better designed.

Question for the experts here. As a newbie, I am not sure what I am looking for. Do these pics all look like they are doing things correctly?

 

[bigdav160]

I'm not a commercial pool builder but it looks good. The only comment is some people will complain about the blocking under the rebar. They don't appear to be the correct type of block.

I can assume gunite will be very soon.

I see bricks used all of the time.
