Excited to find this forum, and post. We started dig last week on July 15th and have completed plumbing and steel. Gunite seems to be way behind given Covid surge in pool building. They are trying to fit us in, but lots of tropical rain coming. I have a small pump that I have been pumping ground water out daily, but anything else we can do to keep hole up while waiting on gunite?
I have all my gutter outlets set up for drainage around and past the pool, and excavation crew built a large “berm” around other lower side to prevent back flow. I was thinking about getting large tarps to protect the walls of pool, then just pump out water as needed.
I appreciate any advice, and thankful that I found this group. I will sleep much better once we have gunite in the pool.
Pics of design and progress attached.
