Well it is easier to fix if needed without the rebar in the way so..........maybe it is working out for the best??
Good thought, except rebar is in now! I though they same thing too though... for the few days it was just dirt. lol.Well it is easier to fix if needed without the rebar in the way so..........maybe it is working out for the best??
The concern sited is that it will leach the calcium from your plaster/finish and eat away at it, which I've read before.
Been a productive few days!
Okay, good to know. I'll double check that.Everything else looks good. For your skybars on the back wall, just double-check your engineering plan to make sure the spacing is correct. I failed my steel inspection because my skybars for the grotto had double the spacing required in the engineers report.
Did you do the sanded finish yourself? looks good.
Okay, sky bars are good at 24" oc for my raised sheer wall. I did see that a grotta requires 12" oc on the engineering plans. Thanks for the heads up though!Everything else looks good.

No problem. I figured a quick 5-minute review could save you some frustration from the inspectors. On my engineering plan, it's 12" for artificial rock and 6" for natural rock water features.Okay, sky bars are good at 24" oc for my raised sheer wall.

Thanks, that's good to know! The pre-site guy for the shotcrete company actually just called to say he'll be out today. I'll ask him about those issues.At least you passed so you can get on shotcret’s schedule then in the mean time figure out the other things. When we were getting shotcrete, their guys went around and fixed all the rebar and made sure all distances were correct. They dug out some dirt and fixed blocks. They even needed to fix part of the deep end wall by the skimmer so it would lay right. They don’t just come and shoot it and seemed to expect it since they were doing all that waiting for the cement truck to get here.
