Awesome!! If they work fast you may still swim this season!

So they left for the day with the excavator just sitting there! Am I the only one who has had to resist just jumping in there and playing????

 

[spd500]

Nope, I love those little things!! I have run several of the little ones all the way up to the huge ones and they are so fun!!

NOPE! I have talked my way in to playing on many a big toy!!! They laugh at me in the beginning but then are wide eyed when I CAN work it!! Don't have their skills but I can make it go and move!!! hehe

So that was the shrieking I heard all the way over here!!! LOVE IT!!

It was a but muffled but I think I heard it too. I second the dancing Kool-aid party guy.

Yeah, i know ... they are waiting on the guy with the little dirt hauler and dump truck to finish another job, so he dug down a bunch while waiting.

 

[TexasRain]

There is a big pile of dirt on the side of my house waiting too!

 

[Newdude]

Sweet !! He’s trapped. Can’t go anywhere if he wants to !! Back to digging buddy, what else you got to do ??

Excavation was finished last week, Steel will be here Thursday or Friday.
Also, with all the clay we have, we are going to get soil injections to minimize the movement.

 

[TexasRain]

Got some steel delivered today!

 

[kimkats]

WHAT??? OH YEAH!!! So are you ready for your next job with this pool build? Run out there with the plans and a tape measure. Is it wide, long, deep, ect enough? Add about 8" for the steel, shell, and plaster. NOW is the time to fix or tweak!

They are here getting the steel done today! Whoo Hoo! They are also installing something called "Steeltec" to the sides. I was told this is to help if it rains before the gunite goes in to stabilize from it caving in or something. I will take some pics when they are done.

Here is an in progress photo.

 

[TexasRain]

Got Steel!!

 

[kimkats]

YES you do!!!

TexasRain -- I love your little sandwich chewing, like you're sitting down to eat and share with us. Every time I see it, I smile.
And. . . Glad your pool has progress!

Ok, so yesterday i was happily surprised with plumbers showing up! They didn't finish everything:

• The autofill is not complete yet
• They set up the equipment on a pre-fab pad... we paid to get a large poured pad to accommodate a future heater/chiller. (that was an easy text to the PB and he said don't worry he will get it fixed and make it right - just hope it doesn't slow them down too much)
• The PB is soooo against salt that he also threw in the rainbow chlorinator thing "just in case we change our minds about the salt" LOL whatever dude.
• I checked the equipment, looks right to me, BUT I don't have a clue about the pad setup.

Oh, and thanks to everyone for the hint, I took A TON of pictures for my records so we know where each pipe goes.

Cant beat the great weather we've had lately. Hopefully they get a lot done before the fall batch of wet weather hits. Looking good.
