Preparing to break ground


Once contracts were signed – there was a six week delay while we waited for approval and permits from the county – and from our home owners association.

Actual construction is to begin on April 9th.

Prior to digging - the first job of the contractor is to position and outline the basic shape of the pool within the backyard. Seems like an obvious step – can you imagine digging holes and then finding the whole pool was two feet left or right of where it needed to be?

This outline is a form made from 2x4’s providing the shape of the pool – and serves as a guide for the actual “digging”.

This step only took a couple of hours. Remember boys - measure twice - dig once!
