Good to hear they have the issue documented and have stated it will be no problem. Weather should be good once the current storm blows through.

Yea I’m hoping the storm today doesn’t push our deck pour to a later date. Guess we’ll see Thursday morning if the pump truck shows up!

 

[Mr47930]

Just got the call. Concrete decking starts bright and early tomorrow morning. I’m going to be a nervous wreck.

 

[Mr47930]

Not a great picture but I didn’t want to stop progress. Just waiting on the 3rd truck and they should have it all on the ground.

Wow that's a lot of concrete!

 

[Mr47930]

Wow that's a lot of concrete!

2,400 sq/ft. I can’t get grass to grow in the back yard since it’s so sandy so figured we’d just concrete as much as we could. We’re putting an 18x20 pavilion on the right hand side where the big bump out is and the left side bump out will be a fire pit sitting area.

What a magnificent space! That's going to be awesome with the pavilion and fire pit! Wish I had the space to do that much concrete, but my property is a wee bit smaller than yours. Can't wait to see yours finished!

It’s a great day!

It’s a great day!

A day I never thought would get here. We signed the contract in May 2021! We’ve been living in a construction site ever since.

 

[Mr47930]

They’re all done! The joints are straight I swear, there’s to much decking to get in the photo so I had to use panoramic mode and it makes it look funny.

2 man crew showed up at 7am today (Sunday, sorry neighbors!) to prep for plaster this week. Looks like they just scraped everything down, chipped a little away from the main drain and then pressure washed everything really good. They also drilled 2 holes in our tanning ledge for umbrella sleeves. Plaster and fill is supposed to be on Thursday but we’ll see, the auto cover company need to come reinstall the track that they had to take off to fix the coping and the electrician has to come wire the light since they couldn’t do that last time because it was full of water. After that they just need to install the stone autocover lid and the actual cover and final grade and we’ll be DONE.

 

[Mr47930]

Tomorrow is plaster and fill day!
Crew is supposed to be here in the morning to plaster the pool and 4 tanker trucks are lined up to deliver water shortly afterwards. We’re very happy that this adventure is coming to an end and at a perfect time right before summer.

 

[Mr47930]

The plaster really makes it look like a pool and not a concrete hole on the ground!

 

[Mr47930]

Water going in!

 

[ImpalaSS]

Congratulations!

 

[Mr47930]

Congratulations!

Thank you! Water trucks are here now. Indoc and final grading are tomorrow. Autocover install is Monday.

 

[Mr47930]

All full!

Amazing! I think it's time to officially say, "Cannonball!"

Thank you both!
A balmy 35° here in MD this morning might delay the cannonballs!
Next up is the 18X20 pavilion we'll be building which will have a 65" TV, outdoor speakers, ceiling fan, lights/outlets. I think i'm just as excited about that as I am for the pool. Nothing like a cold beer and watching some football outside!
