Pouring the Pool Floor

Today was a beautiful sunny day for pouring concrete. It took 17 yards
of concrete to pour the pool bottom. It is from 8 to 10 inches thick
covering the rebar lattice work. No longer do the workers haul the
concrete by wheel barrow - it is pumped through a hose about 3 inches
in diameter. After the concrete sets a bit - the surface is brushed to
accept the Marcite finish.

Things are moving along faster now. After 2 weeks of hand digging -
shaping - and benting rebar - it is starting to look like a pool.

The next steps are - forming up the walls - pouring the walls -
installing the stone coping perimeter - building the waters falls -
setting the tiles - and finally - coating the entire pool with Marcite
plaster.

With a little luck - we will be swimming in 2 weeks.
