Hello all, I have started a new thread to document our pool build. It started great, but has hit a huge roadblock (see pics). Also, this may be the most stressful thing my wife and I have ever taken on.
The morning before the dig started:
During the dig:
Dig completed by 6pm. They started about 9am:
The next day, initial plumbing and steel was completed!
All was well and on track at this point, then we were 2 days from gunite and we got more rain than I ever seen at this house. It started raining about 2 pm and rained all day and night, hard drenching rain. This was what we were left with the next morning:
We lost the entire back wall. Actually a little over two feet of earth collapsed into the pool and took the back wall with it. The blue tarp is from the pool builder, but that didn't get put down until the damage was done. The tarp is now preventing the rest of the earth from eroding from behind the pool.
The pool builder keeps saying it's no big deal and we will fix it, but wow that is disappointing to see.
We are trying to keep our spirits up, but it's tough right this second.
