I am building a new house and everything is going good. Part of the house plan was always a pool. Dig starts tomorrow can't wait. I will try and post pics as they go. Here is the computer model.

Looks like a really nice design. We just dug on Saturday so only a few days ahead of you. It is really awesome to watch them dig and the steel is cool to watch. What are some of the stats on the pool (size, gals, equip etc...) Good luck!

It is going to me a salt water pool 34x16. 3.5 to 5.5 to 4 on the depth, remote, led light, approx 14000 gal and beadcrete.

That graphic layout looks too small for a 34 x 16 in comparison to the chairs. Just saying....
Been a busy week and have not had time to upload anything. Here are the dig and gunite pics.
I have been busy and not had the chance to update the pics as I would like. Here is what I have so far everything is ready to go for an acid wash tomarrow and fill. I went with a Jandy 460 sqft filter anyone know how good these are.

Stone Scapes Tropics Blue....Builder said to wait 10 days before adding salt. Does this sound right everything I have read on here said wait 30.

I do have to mention that it looks alot like mine did when it was installed. Pebble Sheen Blue Granite.
The National Plasterers Council says to wait 28 days before adding salt. They are considered the most authoritative source. In practice adding salt sooner rarely causes problems, but it is better to be safe than sorry.

I know....the sample I saw said Tropics Blue and it did not have red in it. I don't know if the online picture is right but it looks just like the sample we saw.
