Here's some photos of the excavation of the bottom of the pool. The pits are for the underdrain system to pump water out from under the pool, and for the pool drains themselves. Groundwater is still not much of an issue, though the pits do fill up at night. Notice the 14' of solid clay in the side walls. Ever wonder why things don't drain well in Veneta?
We got word this week that the surveyor mistakenly used a wrong control point for the survey. The looks around the table when he dropped this bomb were not good. You don't really want to hear that the survey is busted AFTER you dig a giant hole and plumb it in. The surveyor didn't look like he'd slept much. Thankfully, it looks like only minor changes to the plans will be needed to compensate, much to everyone's relief.
The next step to is backfill and compact the rock, and begin forming the slab for the pool bottom. Stay tuned!
