New Build Forney, TX (Dallas)

[sham]

Ive measured everything, the only thing that stood out was the steel in the hot tub sitting area is all one hight and I wanted two seating depths. So, maybe they will do that with gunnite. Ill have to ask the builder in the morning.

Ours was like that, they make the other side higher with more gunite

BUT make sure to be there and tell them you want to WATCH them do that part to make sure it gets done.

Ok everybody, PB finished shooting gunite yesterday. They work very fast doing this step. I asked prior to, and they ensured there was no (minimal) about of rebound used. Ive made sure to keep it sprayed with h2o, but mother nature is doing it for me now. When I look at it, everything appears to be good, although they did not do the two seat heights in the spa. I contacted PB and he said he did not have it in his notes, and of course I told him it was discussed on several occasions. He offered to jack hammer and re do, but I told him I did not want to do that.

here are some pictures, please let me know if anything looks wonky....

Too bad they did not do the different heights It can be fixed but......is it worth it?

5.6.16. More work on the coping and the spa veneer. It's amazing to watch these guys work the stone. They hand chip the rock face to get the look. They were here all day working on the water spill from the spa and the veneer. They will be here bright and early to finish tomorrow. Then on Monday the 4 ton waterfall and weeping wall begins.

Your pool is coming along nicely! I like the multicolor coping. Can't wait to see how they do your waterfall and weeping wall.

 

[Beernut0875]

So all the coping is complete. The spa took a full day.

So today the built the waterfall and weeping wall. I like it, but just wonder what it will look like with water.

So far most has gone as planned, but I do have some small things I don't like. In one spot the mortar is showing through the grout. This ha to be fixed. Take a look at the pics and tell me what you think. Never too late to rip it all out and redo! Ha!

Love the waterfall! Looks very natural, can't wait to see it with water flowing... With the stonework and that beautiful tile, it will be an oasis!

Looks very good! Seems like we are on similar timelines. I'm pretty new so can't offer any advice! Good job on your design choice! My pool started on 4/28...pea gravel decking going in tomorrow! Will keep watching your build.

I like how it looks! That is a waterfall? Where does the water come from? I do not see any opening for water to come out of.

Can you get it wet yet? I would find a way to run water over it just to see how it looks.

Water comes out of it... I hope! Can't wet it yet as it is still curing.
