Our pool is being done by: Malins Custom Pools

My feedback on them will go here. (After the pool is finally finished) Jump to finished pool pictures

First they have to dig up all the concrete and the lawn (4/30/2003)

Then they layout the pool (4/30/2003)

Then they dig the pool (4/30/2003)

The next day they finished digging - now we wait for steel (5/1/2003)

There is water in the bottom - but I don't think we want to swim in it.... :) (5/3/2003)

Then they came out and installed the steel framing (5/8/2003)

And the framing is done (5/12/2003)

The next step is to install the water circulation pipes and equipment (5/14/2003)

Then the gunite application crew shows up with big equipment (5/27/2003)

And now it is starting to look like a pool (5/28/2003)

And then they installed the coping and the drainage lines (those white tubes sticking out of the ground) (6/6/2003)

Finally they prepped for the concrete pour. (After telling us multiple different days) (6/18/2003)

And FINALLY they poured the concrete. (However - there are a couple of things that need fixing) (6/23/2003)
This should REALLY have been done apx 2 weeks after the gunite application.

Then they tiled the inside edge of the pool and the spa spillway (6/26/2003)

The fence between the driveway and the yard finally got installed on July 3rd.

But then we failed the "fence and gate" inspection because our southern neighbor's yard was 4 inched too high up our fence. (Failed on July 7) After 4 days of negotiating - we finally convinced them to let us remove that extra dirt - and we are waiting for another inspection on July 14, with the expectation of plaster and fill on July 15.

The plaster crew showed up on Saturday July 19th - cleaned out the pool - and then went home because they didn't have enough people. They returned on Monday July 20th and actually plastered the pool.
