the are 12" apart....there are two that are 15" in a curve that I will address when they get here tomorrow morning. my wife took the pictures before they were finished for the day. Unless you are talking about the first picture then I don't know....cant tell after they filled in between them with more rebar
@kimkats Im confused on the test kits....I see everyone talking about the TF100, but I also see a 1766 mentioned and don't see where it is available to order.....what do I need for a swg pool?
Look in my siggy below for the TF-100- this is the main test kit. The 1766 is the salt test kit. They both can be ordered from the same place. Does that help?
I found them both...just wasn't in the correct place
Update on the pipe...PB swears it will be fine when it is cut off and the lite installed. He hasn't been wrong about anything yet and I still haven't paid him a dime so for now he gets the benefit of the doubt.
Glad you found the tests. Did you know if you become a supporting member you will get a discount on the test it??? AND it helps us keep the servers fed! Here is the link: Become a TFP Supporter
I am hoping it is just the way the pic was taken but the pool beam looks a bit high. I would assume it should have been very close to the same elevation as the existing patio or a bit lower after the coping Is installed. Do you have a long strait edge of some sort to check it with a level?
Be sure they remove the entire organic layer of soil under where the pool deck will be. It should be done before the trenching to avoid getting the organics mixed in with the backfill of the plumbing trenches. After the organics are removed it appears you will have some 2' plus fills for the patio and trenches. Be sure to ask the PB how he will be compacting the backfill material. It should be placed in at a maximum of 12" at a time and compacted with a heavy compactor rated for the depth of soil you will be compacting. Letting it settle for a period of time or driving over it with equipment is not a acceptable method of compaction and your soil will most likely settle more in a few years long after the PB is gone.
its about 12" at the high side and almost 24" on the slope....its the correct elevation off of the existing patio. at most there is 2" of topsoil...rest is hard clay. It will compact just fine.
