New pool build in Nicaragua

[pwrstrk]

Nice job using the jumping jack, as we call that type of compactor here. They hit nice and hard.
Looks good !

Rebar delivered and we started installing.

 

[MrNica]

We started the bond beam steel work and the floor tying today.

A truck delivered a load? Where are the horses?

 

[Casey]

Wow! Very interesting build and love the use of pure man power.

Man this is really coming along nicely !

 

[Casey]

Any updates?

 

[MrNica]

Ready for the concrete floor. I just have to install the floor drains and the guys can start the concrete.

 

[MarianParoo]

So jealous of your blooming plants! Pool looks good too, I guess... Hahaha

 

[Mario P]

Do you guys have to have city/province inspections like we do here in the states or is it free for all?

 

[MrNica]

Just had the rebar and etc inspected. (They look for correctness because of seismic issues here). Signed off and we are pouring the floor this afternoon.

 

[Casey]

Post pics when you can!

 

[MrNica]

After heavy digging and all the steel work etc, we do the floor this afternoon.

Coming along nicely Warren, it's going to be a great pool!

 

[MrNica]

And here is how we do it here. No cement trucks!

Who needs a truck when you have all of the "manpower"! Moving along one bucket at a time!

Are they friends/family or hired help?
