New IG Gunite Geometric Build in South Atlanta

[NewPoolGuy00]

SWEET!!

What is the rectangle hole to the left of the pool?

Have you played on the mud mountain yet???? That looks so fun!!! BUT make sure you wear clothes you can throw away when you are done!

Our yard is completely flat so they have to make a gravel pit for the drains in the recessed sitting area and fire pit. The drains are four feet below waterline so that is one deep pit.

Got ya! Yeah the water has to go somewhere!!

Plumbing Complete! Rebar in progress!

Equipment Set!!!

That looks awesome! I love how it is really shaping up! Make sure the put the dobies in. Those are the little things that hold the steel off the ground so the gunite can get under it.

Make sure to ask any and all questions you might have no matter how small! We have all been where you are at one point.

Time to start thinking about getting your own test kit. Look in my siggy for the one I think is the best bang for the buck!

We made a few very minor changes but overall smooth sailing and a great subcontractor. They are widely respected in Atlanta and did a high quality job. None of the Shotcrete horror stories I have seen on here. Yup they actually completed it last night so I watered it well this morning. We are supposed to get from big rain in Atlanta tomorrow so we will get some free watering!!! Thanks for the links.

My pool math link might not work. If not look over on the left hand side of this page. It is right under home.

Hoping the storm is not as bad as they think it will be. Looks like we might be hit by it at the same time.

After some heavy rain last night, it looks like we have a little ground water seeping in through the Gunite wall. This appears to be the only spot. Is this normal?

 

[kimkats]

It is normal. I do wonder why it is so concentrated in that one area.....the one spot looks *interesting* to me. How far out will the decking go in that area behind the area?

The plaster is what makes a pool water proof so it should all be good!

The decking extends five feet in that area.

Once things get dried up things will be fine!!! SWEET!

The stone team arrived yesterday to get started on the tile, coping and stacked stone. The amount of manual labor that goes into chipping, chipping and chipping all these natural rocks amazes me! Tile is National Pool Tile Ridgeline Blue Slate!

 

[kimkats]

You had Artist With Big Saws in you yard! That look awesome! Just look at the detail in side the skimmer! I really like how they are doing that wall. So random and pretty!!

Kim

 

[NewPoolGuy00]

Stone guys still at it. Tons of rock. It's looking great!!!

 

[kimkats]

They must be having fun figuring that out! So many special cuts! WOW!

 

[galowbraw]

Stone and pool look beautiful. The yard is really going to be great when it's done!

 

[NewPoolGuy00]

We are getting there! Coping done except for sitting area!
