    *Updated - Gunite before rebar/parts delay

    They did stop by before Christmas and placed the rebar/steel and they started the plumbing as well.

But my construction is now on hold because the PB says the spa jets are on backorder. I was told there is a national shortage - so we are patiently waiting on...
