Make sure your PB puts in an overflow drain in your skimmer. It keeps the pool from overflowing. I just found out I had one last night.

Interesting, the it rained yesterday and the pool took on about 6 in of water, more overnight, from those holes they left. I am curious as to why the spa didn't take on any water?

Here's a thought.. I just found out that when cleaning the spa, the water drains into the pool and recirculates automatically.
I asked that because when I am brushing the spa, the plaster dust doesn't get sucked away until I set the spa to drain into the pool. Then the spa refills with recycled water once I hit a button... (don't ask which one right now, because I'd have to go read up on that.) Maybe that's the way that is set up during construction.. Mine emptied too.

Hi all! Update.. nada. The next set of steps: Tile/coping, hook up electric. Hook up to water, frame decking. *sigh*
Spending time in the 100+ heat cooling off my pool with cool water is NOT what I had in mind this summer..hahaha

spiders?

imrodee - They told us 4-6 wks, but haven't given us anything since. I am trying to be patient because I would rather it be done right, but dang! I did see a couple of spiders and thought of you...haha..that's worded funny! Just a couple though, same ones though.

Keep them to their word.. Keep asking when to expect the next contractor!
RE: spiders... None since we got water! Just an occasional one in the skimmer.... no biggie. We are in the country, so I guess I have to expect critters.

My experience was with the opposite conditions. Our pool was built in December. I was out there watering the gunite and later brushing at 5AM before work with temps near freezing. Not fun.arvven said:
Looking forward to seeing the completed project.

Only thing I have to note today is that the PB brought out some "Mosquito Dunks" to put in the green water that is at the bottom of the pool. It rained the day after the gunite pour and there's been some since with my watering. There is a lot of West Nile concern in our area. I was really glad they did it!
