THE POOL PROJECT CONTINUES
July 14 posting
Next they built re-bar column towers, these will form posts in the walls.
details
they are long
and tall
up they go..
close up of how they sit on the square base
almost all set up and the cement follows
it seems a complicated maze
in all the destruction the embattled Magnolia offers up a bloom
Piers exposed in wall footing trench
footings for the wall bases start
all footings are in
footings for the mechanical room done too
up go the forms for the wall bases
another load of cement arrives those are 100 lb bags!!
Mixing sand, gravel, cement then add water
Base for walls take shape
Wall bases are done and pool excavation down 3 feet done
Rock as waiting to go in
Then we discovered a problem, the bottom of the hole is Jello mud so adding large gravel and trying to firm up with vibrator/tamper.
After the gravel improved the base, "a little", they came back with the large rocks and created a surprisingly level floor for the insulation to lay on and then re-bar and cement for the floor of the pool will be next but that's another posting.
More soon.
