shotcrete

Hi, I want to say thank you before I start. I entered contract with my current PB last Nov before I found TFP. There are many things I wish I had known before entering this contract, but I tell myself better now than later! I really appreciate the amount of information and knowledge that is...

I am doing a new pool build in Queen Creek (Southeast Phoenix), Its a 16 x 32 roman style, 6 ft deep in the middle, with a baja step - no spa. I used BYOP .net based in Mesa, worked with Roy for design and John for equipment. Made a few changes along the design path with no extra charges...
