New Pool Build in Spring, TX
- Thread starter bdrums
- Start date
They were out there until about 6pm or so. I don't know how long it takes so maybe it would have taken well into the night or early morning. Don't know.
They're back out this morning doing more.
That makes sense! They were done for the day by that point! Don't want to do something this important when you are so tired!
6:15 am?????? Your neighbors are going to need a swim in your pool to make up for this early start!

We live in a neighborhood full of school age kiddos. I'd be very surprised if anyone was still asleep.

Dig was Saturday Sept 5th. PB has been a rock star for us!

Right! And that was with a Sunday and holiday mixed in! Total of 4 working days.
Question (for anyone reading): what are the larger buckets for In the pool wall facing away from the house?

They are drains to feed water feature pumps.
They don't have to be in the floor of pool.
I have 8 in the wall of my pool.
Might even be a light in there somewhere.
Nope, just checked steel pic. They are drains.

Hmm. They look haphazardly placed. I wasn't home when they seated them in.
Mine were stubbed out with hard PVC, not the flex stuff, and tied to the steel.
Based on the steel picture, back a ways, I'm not sure if they tied these off, or relied on Gunite crew to align them.

I think they were hanging loose. Unfortunately I was at work today while the gunite crew (THE top crew in Houston) finished up. So I don't know exactly what they did. I'll see the PB this evening so I'll ask.
Thanks for the insight!
They will look a little off as the floor is rising towards steps.
They may well be @ the same depth.

beautiful -- and I used to think the cement stage was ugly, I've really come a long way - ha!
Haha. The pool part looks great. The yard, on the other hand, is a disaster.
We're waiting on the stone work. PB says the crew he wants is on another job and will not be available for another few days.
After the stone work, they'll do a good yard clean up before trenching in the plumbing.
So we are in waiting mode now.
Re: New Pool Build in Spring, TX - COPING PICS!
We are 3 days into coping & tile. We think they have 2 more days to go. Tomorrow morning marks 2 weeks from dig.
