So trip 1 was just my bad. I forgot to have the load calculations for the electrical which is required if you have 2+ pumps. Trip 2 City of LV reviewed the plans and had some additions needed. Trip 3 the place was closed, and trip 4 plans seemed to be ok. Waiting for final approval. (4-8 days according to the person I spoke with). In the mean time, pool layout was done today, I'll take a picture tomorrow and post it.
 
So after a long delay on permits, I finally got them. Excavation started last Saturday and finished on Tuesday. Next step plumbing...

So i'm really bad at posting here, but kinda felt we were slowly trickling along for a while. Well today was finally got to shotcrete. The company has been so busy they were 7-10 days behind, or we would have had it almost 2 weeks ago.

Here are the recent progress photos. Really looking forward to the rock slide taking shape. Will take more photos tonight when I get home and it's done.

Really amazing to watch the rock guy build this metal frame out of nothing. Very talented.

Shotcrete at lunch today. Small error in that the pillars in the back were only supposed to be a few inches into the pool. Thankfully we caught it early and they were working on fixing it when I left. Can't wait till I get home.

OK, progress update. We are almost there. Had some delays, like when the tile company called 2+ weeks ago the day before they were supposed to install tile to tell me the tile we ordered was out of stock until August!!!. I got online and found a place in NY that had what I needed. Ordered it, it shipped in a few days and we lost 7-10 days rather than 2 months. Of course the day the tile is suppose to be delivered, I get a call from the trucking company to tell me the driver is out of hours and can't deliver (meanwhile tile is scheduled for next day). So i drove out to the other side of town to pick it up. Tile is in now and looks awesome. Of course my pool contractor was also great about it and deducted my cost of ordering the tile (including $250 for shipping) from our contracted price. we then upgraded some more stuff so...bye bye savings. See the progress pictures below, waiting for the rock to get painted. Pebble tech is scheduled for Sunday!
 
The day before they call you to say the tile is out of stock????? NO WAY :shock: I can just see your fingers flying to find some you could get fast! WOW THEN the driver was out of hours :( At least he was close enough for you to go pick it up but WOW what a time you have had of it with just the tile!

I love every thing I see! What fun that pool will be when it is all done!
