New pool, Manor, Texas

Looks like they laid a prefabricated slab on top of your grass and set the equipment on it.
If that is true I would be having a few words with PB.
The grass will decompose, the slab will sink and the pipes will crack.

IF they reset your equipment, having no gap between the slab and house means you wont have a difficult strip of grass to cut.

Yes, that's exactly what they did.

I would be killing all of the grass and putting landscaping fiber down with big river rocks down to pretty it up.

That's definitely an idea. This is a very obscure area of our yard. But I like the idea of rocks around the equipment pad.

It's raining off and on. While, I love the rain, this really isn't the time for it. [emoji53]

You may have already seen this posted, but here's an example of an equipment pad nicely surrounded by river rock. (not mine, yet) Suz.

Thanks, Suz. That looks very neat. I like it.

We got a little rain today. But PB says pumping it out in the morning and shooting gunite in the afternoon. I'm ready for that.
They flashed the gunite yesterday to keep the walls from caving in during the rain. Long process.

Okay, it's full fledged gunite today. It's 6:30 and they are still going strong. Neighbors are peeking over the fence. I hope everyone is patient and I don't get any complaints. It's loud and I have lots of neighbors.

They moved the screen so I can't see them. This looks like very hard work! There is no way a person can hold that hose very long. I'm impressed.

See I knew you loved us! AND you need to have a picture book of everything!

NOW it looks like a REAL pool! Sweet!

You know those guys have to sleep good at night when they finally get to sit down!

I know. I went out and talked to him. He had to drive about thirty miles to get home after he dropped off his truck! I couldn't believe it was his second pool that day. He said he would get home about 9:30. I know women work hard, but there is something to be said for these men who use physical labor to build and construct. I'm just in awe of this process. Now the watering of the gunite begins...

[emoji3] yes, I'm off work today, so thought I'd do it. I was 95% finished and it started pouring down rain. Nice. [emoji3] so glad the gunite is finished.
