THE MAKING OF A SWIMMING POOL AND SPA


Demo of the block wall took 10 minutes

Breaking ground



Starting the form of the pool





The pool takes shape



Trenching around the house for gas and electrical lines


The plumbing goes in



Next is rebar



Shotcrete finally for the pool shell


The jacuzzi takes shape




Now we need to water the shotcrete three times a day to cure

Forming the concrete deck




We have a deck


And the wall is put back together again....

Tile and stone are done

Love the stone wall on the jacuzzi; the water will flow over and down into the pool


Time to clean the shotcrete for plaster

Plastering is the last step



And finally...water

And more water

And more water--24 hours of filling the pool and spa





The end result, what a transformation of our backyard!
