Found an empty beer can and water bottles while doing a walk through..oh boy. I hope this isn’t going to be a thing for the rest of the build
Yes very! Maybe I should put a couple of trash cans out so they get the idea. But the drinking on the job? That’s just unacceptable.
It’s rampant in the trades and restaurants. I don’t agree with it, but it is what it is. I work outside. I’m forever stopping at a gas station either to hydrate or de-hydrate. At 11am and the rest of the day there is always an electrician, plumber, Mason, maybe all 3 on line getting tall boys.
Oh no. Empty beer can?Found an empty beer can and water bottles while doing a walk through..oh boy. I hope this isn’t going to be a thing for the rest of the build
And yes, he shut off the valve today. 
Our crew left a bunch of trash too, but never beer cans. Are they drinking on the job? I'd have a problem w/ that. Talk to your foreman.Found an empty beer can and water bottles while doing a walk through..oh boy. I hope this isn’t going to be a thing for the rest of the build
Start watering as soon as it's done. We watered ours twice a day for about 8 days.
Just spoke to PB and they will backfill tomorrow. Then we can start watering.
Thanks Kim Kat! I started watering it and now there’s a puddle in the deep end. Is this normal? Did I over water? Should I leave the puddle or dump it out? Thanks!SWEET!!! That looks great!
I would water it right now! These first few days are oh so important. The leveling around the pool should have nothing to do with watering the shell.
It is time for your set of links! The first set is all about what to do and ask about to get a great plaster job. The second set is all about how to care for your pool after you get the plaster.

Now is also a good time to ask what test kit your PB will be providing so we can fill in any holes.

OK so pumped out the water. Used a hand held pump and boy was that a work out! Also what are these holes for? Is there a certain way to spray/water gunite to avoid pooling of water? I didn’t use a spray nozzle and basically watered down the bond beam first followed by the rest. Should I just spray in mist mode?
