Hi all,
We just broke ground 2 weeks ago with our pool. It is a freeform shotcrete 12,000 gallon pool with oversized spilloverspa, 6 jets, 6 foot sunshelf, pcc 2000, SWG, 1.5hp jandy pump, electric heater, spa remote, pebblesheen. This is our first pool so we dont really know much about building a pool. We did our homework and got 4 estimates and chose a company that was BBB a+, Angie's list top rated and the salesman just blew us away with knowledge. And.. that is where it stops. It took a month to get the permit and finally they broke ground the last week of May. There have been a series of mishaps since then, walls caving in after dig because they forgot to tell us to shut off the sprinklers, They finally shot the shotcrete last week but to me it looks terrible. It is very rough with large craters, the edges of the steps and sunshelf are crumbly, the vertical corners are crumbly and are not at all straight. There are very large cracks in the floor. I have brought it to the attention of the builder but they assure me that is how it is supposed to be. Here are some pictures of the shotcrete, maybe some experienced people here can tell me if this is normal or if Im being taken.
