Today was a day for completing alot of things! The coping which was mortared down yesterday was finished today and grouted. The waterfall was completed with the smaller rocks and the coping is completely finished around the top of the wall, around the spa and around the pool. The steps were also finished today - they are actually huge rocks cut to form steps to go around the left edge that leads up to the top of the wall. There will be a concrete area up there for jumping into the pool.
There was a minor emergency today. One of the sprinkler system lines was cut and Jay and the crew had to run around and figure out where to turn the water off. This was cut when they were digging the trench to run the electrical lines. The gas line was also put in today for the pool and spa heater. Later the stump grinder came and ground up the remaining stumps, too. We have had a busy day in our back yard today!
They also grounded the electrical wires onto the wire around the pool on the ground. You have to have at least this much concrete decking around the pool. We are having more decking than this but for some reason, this is all the wire they had to put down today for the codes inspection.
Next week we are supposed to get some rain from Hurricane Fay and that was when our concrete decking was supposed to be poured and stamped. We will probably have to wait until Friday to get that done if the weather forecast is correct as we see it now.
These pictures are amazing to us considering that 16 days ago, our yard just had a few trees cut down.
