You guys have some bad ass pools! Just wondering tho, why no swim up bars? That's my favorite place to be when I'm on vacation.......

Looking good and moving along fast.

Sure hope you have a pool guy, those walls are going to be fun to brush with all those curves.

The guy operating that first piece of equipment has some serious talent. Pool looks great.

So far, Brian , owner of Desert Storm Pools is on his shit. He is out to make a statement. He says water by Halloween.
He opened 8/1. I am pool #7 with his new company. I was apprehensive, but that worry is gone now.
He did a guy at my work brothers house on Rainbow a couple weeks ago.

Was all ok?
He said so far Desert Storm Pools has been great. I showed him your pictures. Sounds like you both are at the same stages of construction.

Wow you should be swimming by Halloween. That’s the fastest pool build I’ve ever seen. Usually they dig a hole and you don’t see anyone for months, lol

Ya, I had to get a little snotty with the builder after they took our existing patio, concrete, out. Two weeks walking out the back slider onto dirt made my blood boil. Owner of pool company was at our place at 3pm and at 6pm a travertine guy showed up to introduce himself and look his next, tomorrow, job over. Well, I guess a LOT snotty!!

An auto chlorinator would have been a good choice, it's probably not too late.

Are they going to grind the coping round or are you leaving is square edged?

Also, if they are not doing so ask them to cover all of the equipment wires in conduit. Ours were left exposed and some wires were laying on the rocks. Turns out wire is made in china and there is soy within the wiring coatings, mice and rats love the shit. Went to hit the button on my phone to turn on the spa and nothing, fuckers ate all of it.

If these guys maintain this type of build process, they are going to make bank in Havasu.
Ha Ha . Makes me want to finally put a pool in my house in Havasu. Never wanted to go thru the hassle of the build. :)
