Hello everyone. I’m sure you’ve all heard similar stories from new folks that are afraid :) We started our pool build at our new build home about 3 weeks ago. Gunite was sprayed exactly 2 weeks ago. Within 5 days I notice several hairline cracks in the gunite. I immediately called my contractor and asked about it and he said it’s normal and there would be some cracking. I went back out to earlier this week and several more cracks have appeared all over the pool so I called him. Apparently he had gone out and called the gunite company to come back out which made me believe that even he thought these cracks were excessive. He called me today and said the gunite company said everything was ok. And they put epoxy in the cracks. Some of the cracks have gotten larger. Just want to know what you folks think. I’ll stop here and post pics.

Tried posting pics but the system is saying the files are too large.
