WOW... the crew is schedule to start day 2 of digging the pool today. They showed up around 10:00 and got right with it. They cleaned out all the rocks that were left from the day before and took a measurement to see how deep the hole was. For a 8-1/2 foot pool the hole had to be dug to a dept of 9foot-3inches. This allows for 9 inches of gunite. We were sitting at 8foot-9inches so we had an executive decision to make. Dig deeper to get the depth we had originally wanted and pay the price or call it good and move on... we chose to move on. An extra 6 inches of depth was not going to make that much, if any, difference. When all you do is belly-flop what difference would that extra 6 inches make??? NONE! Move on to the shallow end!
For the shallow end all they had to do was make one pass with the jack hammer and it was to the depth we needed which is 3-1/2 foot. WHEW... at 1:00 pm they were packing up the back hoe and moving to the next job.
It was a job well done. I was totally impressed with this crew. The guy working the back hoe could flip a coin over with the bucket if he needed to. He was that precise. They cleaned u p their mess and headed on down the road around 1:30.
Next up is rebar and PVC pipe.
Stay tuned for more developments.
