Yes, the rock is just unbelievable for us in this area. About two days of excavation was just breaking up rock and hauling it out. It's also one of the reasons I went with this PB. He included ALL excavation in the price. The other we had narrowed our choices down to said they "may" have to come...

The links are definitely "worth" it. They are full of great information plus it's kinda like an achievement badge for those of us building. We know we have hit a good spot in our progress.

I think this is actually a good thing. The flow rate for your auto-fill is probably a LOT slower than that from the regular water hose.

Thank you Kim, I have been waiting to get my own copy. Even though I must admit I have cheated and looked at other people's copies. As for questions, I am sure they will start when it's time to start filling the pool up. I will be doing the test of my tap water in the next few days to see what I...

Guess what day it is.... Crew showed up around 6:45 and got started as soon as it was daylight.

I am really interested in seeing your cauldron build. I'm so close to ordering one, but want to see your thoughts once you have it all out together.

We are just a couple of days away from gunite and have an issue with the spillways from our spa. We are supposed to have two 18" spillways. After the steel guys were done we didn't like the location of the spillways as one was going to spill onto our tanning ledge. We asked the PB to have both...

So plumbing was finished today. We did make a couple of changes. Instead of doing one large light we are going to do three smaller lights throughout the pool. Hopefully this will give us a nice even light distribution throughout the pool instead of one bright spot with darker edges all the way...

The steel crew showed up bright an early this morning. Got started around 8am. But they only stayed half the day so they will be back to finish up tomorrow. And hopefully the plumbers will be here tomorrow as well. Of course before they could begin the inspector had to make sure it was ready...

From the pics that we saw in the PB office it looked like it was going to give us the color we were going for. Just not sure how much was done to doctor those photos to make them look better. I'm thinking it will be nice though. At least I hope so.

More progress made on the excavation today. Girls are getting so excited just to play in a dirt hole. They can't wait for there to be water in it. The PB is hoping to be done with the dig by Tuesday and steel guys are scheduled to start Wednesday.

Flow with the existing patio was one of our requirements for the designers. It's crazy how some totally disregarded that and didn't try to incorporate what was already there. Of course that makes it easier to eliminate some of the PB's.

We did it! We finally chose a builder and have broken ground. I have been lurking for a while and received sooooo much great information from all you awesome folks. I'm glad I am one of the lucky ones that found this site BEFORE starting. I think you have already saved me a LOT of money. We are...
