East Texas Cement Pond

[LSU]

Going to start my thread with pictures from our journey so far since we are almost at the end if the construction phase. I will add pics in small groups, with descriptions. This is a 22,000 gallon salt water pool being built in East Texas on the side of a hill. We are having to build up a good amount of dirt to level everything out, and then have a concrete pad poured. Will start adding pics now. May take me a little time to add all the pics.

Beginning stages. Raw land. We had several trees removed as well as several stumps ground down per the PB specifications. We live in a forest, so there are root systems everywhere. We have sandy loam top soil, with red clay underneath. I'm trying to add pics from my phone, but it keeps saying they are too large for the server.

Dig day. Forming the shape of the pool itself, and depth.

I was expecting to see pictures of you doing a cannonball in the pool. Have you been in yet? Everything going okay?
