Love love love! It's going to be awesome. I really wanted a geometric design but the shape of our lot and position of our house on it did not cooperate.
Hoping to get a pool in the next few months!

Ground will be broken today!!!
Can anyone answer a couple quick questions for me?
Should I measure the hole and verify depths, then how much should I account for gunite and plaster?
Also can you replace standard spa jets with the massage type or do they require special plumbing?
Thanks!

exciting times!
typical gunite walls and pool bottom are 6" to 8" thick, if you measure after the steel goes in I'd add 3" to the inside of that.
I think you need a whole dedicated pump & plumbing for the massage type spa jets.
Thanks!
I am going to have a booster pump also now, so I wonder how hard it is to add them?
I was thinking something like these. Waterway 7 in. Deep Seat Gunite 3-Jet Manifold 210-3420G- Pool, Spa, Hot Tub Jets - 210-3420G- Pool Products- MyPoolYard.com

its really nothing for them to add in the scheme of things. extra return water line and extra air line to each one tho.
Water will still need routed through heater tho right?
There's the whole air line thing too, bringing in cold air cools the water down very quickly. I'm not an expert but believe this is why the air get routed thru the hot water return lines in most set-ups, the hot water heats the air.

on my earlier "measuring" post too, its probably best you measure before the steel goes in LOL, so subtract 12-16 inches wall to wall after excavation.
Here we go! Sorry about my kid making the face into the camera, he got braces yesterday so he was complaining...
Let the MUD begin! LOL
Poor face
Is his mouth sore or does he not want the braces at all?
Pretty doggy!
