Stardate 20190802.1426:
I have been asking the PB for plumbing plans for several weeks, and they say they will give them to me but have not. So I contacted Pima County Arizona, who responded immediately with what was submitted to them, and unfortunately all that was required was standard engineering drawings for the structure. As interesting as that was it wasn't what I wanted. The plumbing is unfortunately very complex for the floor system. I now regret officially doing it, but please don't tell my wife. I really want those plans in case there are future problems and they go out of business. Just in case. They simply don't want to give out information. If that doesn't change I will never recommend them even if the pool turns out fantastic.
We now have had 2.1" of rain since the dig so far and the only erosion to the walls of the cavity have been in three places. The pool is going to be built up in some places due to poor drainage left by the house builder. And I guess I feel better because they now have a absolutely obvious map of where the rainwater is draining into the pool. So there is a map of what to build up. Unfortunately two of them are on the lagoon steps and there is probably more loss than they will like.
The electricians came yesterday at 2 PM, and left by 315 PM according to my cameras. They installed the casing for the pool light into the rebar cage, and dropped the electrical conduit (I think without wire) into the trench along with the beginnings of the #8 solid and equipotential bonding grid.
Nothing today. No show. I suppose that they could get it done in one day on Monday and we can still get the pre gunite inspection done on Tuesday but I would not bet money on it.
I almost think a pool like this could be built in a week if there wasn't a week and a half between every step. The initial permit request was 5/22 but about three weeks of that were the lot saga.
