New Pool Build Rockwall, TX

[flyingboxes]

Hello All,

After many days of lurking on this site I have started our pool here in Texas and decided to post some pics. Through this forum I was able to make a few decisions and read some good advice from fellow members. We went chlorine due to our builders advice and what I have researched. We will see how that goes. Anyway, these are current as of 1/31/2014. More pics to follow.

17 by 32 free form gunite

3.5 to 4.5 to 4ft deep play pool (14,500 gallons)

Welcome to tfp, flyingboxes

That is some very tight work conditions for that machine.... Is that a road on the other side of the fence? Are you planning on putting a privacy fence up when completed?
Good luck with the build.

Hi, no road. It is about a 3 foot drop off with a retaining wall. The fence must remain metal in the back because it is a "green zone" according to the city/HOA. It is a small pond, It does look like a road though now that I look closely at the pic.

Welcome to the forum! Nice build!

 

[flyingboxes]

Ok, finally figured it out. Looks like photobucket is the way to go.

We are at the gunite stage now. Waiting for it to cure for 7days.

Next is tile and coping.

 

[flyingboxes]

A few more as of today.

Well I thought they would wait for the curing until doing the tile and coping but no....they are here gettin it done!

 

[flyingboxes]

No work today, the cold has brought things to a standstill.

Wow the Snow went from one side of the state to the other.

There's got to be quite a few pool builders bored today.

 

[flyingboxes]

Yep, today as well. More snow flurries!

 

[mrcarcrazy]

We got off easy on this side of the state. We're dry again, supposed to get to upper 40's.

Good luck!

This weekend should be a little better and get up into the mid to upper 50s in the DFW area!
