Good luck on this. Very tough situation and many of us have been there. Hope you can get the results you want.
Can you have them dowel in some new rebar on top of the existing beam, shoot more gunite, and have the pool stick out of the ground two feet? You’d have a nice seat wall along the edge. I’ve seen some pools like that and it can look really good. All this would be at no extra charge of course.
Hey everybody! An update!
They said they wanted to resend somebody to come and measure exactly how deep it is so they can see how much they can actually refund me. I told the pb I wasn't interested in that and they should know, had I known they would short me a foot and a half that and the pool only being 5.5 ft I wouldnt have even hired them to build it, you can buy an above ground pool that deep for only a couple grand. I told her I wanted it fixed. And that 1500 and a plant isn't enough for me to accept a pool I now dislike because it's not what I wanted by any means. They called me back and what the lady said is that it's out of her hands now shes out of the loop and supposedly they're going to talk to all of the foreman for rebar, shotcrete, plumbing, and excavation and have them jackhammer the bottom out and dig deeper and redo the rebar plumbing etc. She said if I dont hear anything by Tuesday to call back again.
This after they told me they couldn't fix it and they would have to tear all of the shotcrete out and start over from scratch and they dont want to do that, then she asked oh but your loan expires on this day and I said I got an extension so she was like oh ok.
So hopefully they'll fix it, and it won't ruin the integrity of the pool.
Does anyone know if the pool will maintain its structural integrity?
Thanks in advance!
