Dried Out

Once the major hurdle was cleared, our pool project has managed to pick up steam!  A good deal of site excavation was done to get the surrounding yard to an appropriate grade, then the pool shape is roughed in with 2x4 framing.

The next step is to do an entire pool frame of re-bar.  As you can imagine from these photos, this is a lot of hard work, but necessary to insure that the pool shell is stable.

This framing represents where the spa will be.  It will have a small, stone-clad spillway into the pool!

While I was making a site visit this morning, the city inspector was there to approve the framing.  This will mean that we're ready to pour!  We should have an actual pool shape this time next week.  We'll have the family swimming this summer yet!
