Slide 6:

Stakeout was necessary before excavation began. Topsoil was removed next.

Slide 7:

Next, earth was excavated to level off the site to the top of the pool. Once leveled, excavation of the pool began.

Slide 8:

As excavation continues, boards were laid out around the outline of the pool and formed to prepare for the steel installation.

Slide 9:

What a ROCK! Excavation could not be completed during day one as the excavators ran into a large vein of rock.

Slide 10:

The vein of rock that was hit was worse than we had hoped.

Slide 11:

A quick financial decision had to be made to continue rock excavation a second day to accommodate a pool deep enough for a diving board.

Slide 12:

Once completely excavated, a stone base was spread on the bottom.

Slide 13:

Next, steel rods were tied together in a grid pattern for the concrete reinforcement.

Slide 14:

The plumbing was the next step of the process.

Slide 15:

The gunnite application finally made the pool take on shape. It was quite an amazing operation, especially when watching the formation of the steps. What do I see? A new skatepark? No, I think it looks like a new luxury suite pond. Oh boy! Wait til I tell the gang!

Slide 16:

Alysha was more than happy to help with the week-long, daily watering schedule to cure the concrete.

Slide 17:

Kopp Excavating of Manheim prepared for the concrete patio.

Slide 18:

The coping and ceramic tiles came next.

Kilgore Landscaping built the retaining wall for the upper ground level above the pool.

Woodland Concrete was hired to do the concrete decking.

Penn Fence of Lancaster installed the fence.
