    What could be the cause? Is it normal? What's the fix? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Anyone know what this could be? It's near one of the steps. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thank you Jamie. I don't see why it matters either, other than maybe wanting the concrete to cure and strengthen on its own with no additional support? I only brought it up because I think I saw something on here about it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thank you Amanda. We are pretty excited! It's good to see some progress... Now if we could just see some progress on the house build! I will have to slow the pool guys down to let the house construction catch up but glad we have a shell now!!

    I may do that tonight. Set it up to water in the morning but still go by and hand water in the evening. I just want to make sure it gets enough water in all places. Thanks for the idea!

    Haha. Yeah i will be going by every day to water. They say twice a day but it's not possible, so I'll hand water pretty good every evening. I believe i read something on here a while back saying the forms should be removed immediately or at the latest, the next day. If that is true, why is...

    It certainly will! Thanks for the reassurance. All of it is stressful when it all comes down to it. I feel confident in our choice of builder so i will let them do their job, as I do mine. Stick to what we're good at, eh!

    I'm almost certain that its already being done at this time, if not complete already. This is the 3rd time to have been rescheduled. I really wish now that i would have told them to wait. I found out last night and never really thought about telling them to do it at another time. Hopefully, the...

    Update: So all the rain last week caused the walls to collapse. They spent the day yesterday digging it all out. My main concern is the spacing on the bottom now being shot with all the mud and walking being done. I was assured by the construction manager that it wouldn't be a problem. The...

    Very nice setup. The colors all came together perfectly. That's the hardest thing to do it seems, figure out what all will look good together! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thank you for the feedback. I too have read a lot about the robot -- pressure cleaner debate on here and decided that I'd go with the pressure-side cleaner with the option to always switch to the robot if need be (I don't know what I'd need to do to eliminate the pressure cleaner, but I'm sure...

    I had the concrete thickness and rebar size/placement checked by a third party and it was said to be normal. I'll point out the grass to the PB. Appreciate the feedback.

    A lot of the reason I posted so many pictures, I encourage feedback of any kind. We don't require permits or inspections where we are and I have never had a pool built. I want others that know more than I do, to point out things I otherwise wouldn't know to ask. That said, is there a reason to...

    Thank you Jamie. With two little ones we thought it best to have the volleyball capability for when they get older. The spa for my wife and the outdoor grill/bar for myself :)

    Update: We have a signed contract and ready to get the ball rolling. Weather hasn't been kind the last month so we're still waiting to break ground on the house itself, but we have our PB in place for when we do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I saw your list of 78 questions earlier this week and used a few that pertained to us when meeting with the second builder last night. Thank you for that. Although the portable restroom for contractors was not one of them ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I found this site a few days ago and have spent WAY too much time at work reading through several threads. I have decided it was in my best interest to get opinions and suggestions from some of the more experienced people on here. My wife and I are relatively young (26 and 25) who have never...
