Alabama pool build

[Sboyse]

Been a busy few days. Been watering as much as possible since the gunite was shot last Thursday. Equipment was set on friday. Over the weekend (while the trenches were still open) i ran some water lines and electrical out around the pool. Yesterday they back filled/ rough graded and the electricians came and hooked everything up. Today the coping, pavers and waterline tile were delivered.

I have pics but I will have to download them to the computer to adjust the file size. I can't get my phone to take pictures under 5MB. What is the file size limit?

There is no file size limit. The software will compress accordingly. Best to upload at full quality to avoid other issues.

@Leebo - Is this correct for both Members and Supporters?

Plaster is done and filling has started. Start up hopefully tomorrow or thursday

 

[kimkats]

What??? Oh yeah!!!

Do NOT stop the water! Doing so could cause a ring on the new plaster.

I can't wait to see it!
