I hope he doesnt shoot over puddles!?!?! :-) "wetting" the soil before pouring is normal in hot climates' it helps to delay the concrete from curing so fast depending on the mix design. This being said, my experience is in typical concrete mix not shotcrete or gunnite, but i would put my money...

Thats Hilarious! Why would he have to finish if he's not getting paid? :-D lol

oh man, looking forward to those post tension pictures!! :-) Please?!

Can u elaborate on what he didnt Like? Just curious. :D

I have a question if you don't mind. Did they cure the concrete in any way? Also, I just want to mention this, not that its a bad idea, careful with sealer on surfaces near the pool. I regret adding it to our stamped concrete. Its very slippery and I worry every time someone takes a run for a...

Lights inside a pool are awesome! and Colored lights are just fantastic IMO. I almost went with the white only, but decided to spend a little more and man we don't regret it. For Halloween we set the red, magenta and orange colors. The sister in laws did some decorations outside the pool and it...

Any CE can do that. If you dig long enough your bound to find someone experienced that does a lot of small stuff regularly and doesn't charge an eyeball. Keep in mind any TX PE will be able to do that for you, so CEs from the outskirts of Houston will be familiar with Houston protocols and...

Any chance of a close up in the drawing? Look likenits gonna be awesome!

Thanks a lot for the replies guys!

So the pump i got to vacuum pool had a hard time priming, i had flex hoses attached and the leaks from connections didnt make me happy, but i can fix that. Im used to the pentair 2HP Pump on thd pool being water tight, is this pump an exception? Hayward sp1580 power flo lx 1HP with cord - YouTube

Any links that mention waiting to fill after the plaster? I've seen some builds that wait till next day, but usually they are pebble plasters. I did quartzscapes (blue) and when the plaster hardened I did acid wash within two hours. Immediately started filling after the acid wash. If I recall...

Thanks for the reply. :cheers:

So our new pool is full with dirt, grass and small debris. I didn't want to invest in an automatic cleaner just yet, even though I did leave an inlet to connect one, so I ordered a Hayward 1HP pump, Pentair vac pro (19"), and a 50' hose along with an inline canister. My question is, should I get...

:goodpost: , so how promising are the floor cleaning system seen in the pictures? I've seen several with it around the forum but down here where I'm from I can't say they are very popular. Looks like an awesome build!

To me its the fact that you have to ask whenever anything is going to get done at home. Its absurd. JoyfulNoise is correct. There is always the "we're letting you know" paper work. I don't think anyone can misinterpret that. it looks like i'll be looking for property next year and we've already...
