SeanB.'s Pool Build

Any hassle from the tree to the right of the pool, such as the PB encountering roots when digging? It's a pretty good size tree that close to the pool. Any expectation that the root system will gravitate towards a water source over the years. ie. your pool ?

[SeanB.]

No, no roots whatsoever. I'm not certian what type of tree it is but based on more of the same kind in the area, I think this one is about as tall as it's going to get so I think we should be fine. If we had run into a bunch of roots, I'd have probably taken it down. As it's the only one we have in the backyard though, I'm glad it was able to stay.

Here comes the rope swing!

Nothing to take pictures of, but they are still making progress. The clean up crew came yesterday morning to pick up after the gunite shoot and this morning, the electricians are out back working. I'll add more pictures once the tile and coping start.

Over at my place, we're in the middle of plumbing.

My backyard looks like a bomb went off back there.

[SeanB.]

Ha ha, sounds familiar. My advice, if you don't already have some, get you a $15 pair of rubber boots at WalMart. I can just slip them on to go in the backyard to water the gunite or just look around. When you're done, you can just hose them off. Plus, I think I look really cool in my shorts and knee high rubber boots. lol.

Those in the know call them "swampers".

I use the same fashion designer as you, apparently.

I only wish my black socks came up above the top of the boots.

I noticed that there wasn't any backwash valving or plumbing in your pictures. OR do they add/complete that after the pool is done?
