And the digging continues

Well the past two days have been really slow due to the amount of rock they have hit. Looking from Wednesday to Thursday there was not much progress except for hauling off the dirt. I am hoping today they are able to move a little faster as they had planned to be done with the digging today. We are supposed to be moving to the plumbing and steel next week but this may have to be postponed.

Start Day

Wow what a great day. The back hoe showed up today and the digging started. You can see by the pictures below they have dug to about 2 1/2 feet deep in the deep end, this is farther then all of us thought they would get without the rock pick. He managed to get all the pool outline dug out minus the hot tub and tanning shelf. Tomorrow the rock pick will show up and they should be moving some of the dirt out.

Paint and Permit

Yesterday was paint day. Ron and the Foreman Ruben came by and painted the outline of the pool on the ground. Kris did not like the first place as it was too close to the trees, so we had them move it a little farther out.

 

Then today the city of Cedar Park came out and made sure it was all good and placed the green permit on the gate. This makes it official, so they will start digging on Tuesday morning. I will send a link to everyone and let them know what the password is going to be to look at the web camera.

3D Pictures

Today Ron came by and dropped off the 3D pictures of the pool. He also gave us a time frame for the dig - start next Tuesday and be done by Friday. Once we get the pool started I will put pictures of the progress. I also installed a new camera for the backyard and will post a link shortly.

Approved and added dog run

Yesterday I thought I would prep the backyard for the pool construction. This consisted of moving the play scape back to the back fence and constructing the dog run. I have attached a picture of the backyard now.

This morning we received our letter from the HOA architectural committee approving our plans. So that makes us one step closer to getting the permits. Hopefully we will know tomorrow when they will start digging.

Funding Round One

Today we went to the bank for round one or pre-funding. Basically we signed for the funding but have to wait for 3 days so we can sign again and pick up the checks.
As of right now we have been denied by the architectural committee for the original plan however we have submitted a new plan that moves the pool four feet away from the fence. We should hear something by Monday and if we are approved we can move to the next phase, building the pool.
We are hoping to start digging next week but may be delayed by the permits. If we receive our permits we should be able to start the dig the next day.

More to come.

The Plan

Well today we received the documents to turn over to the MUD for approval by the architectural committee. I have attached the sketch drawing of what the pool will look like. We should get the 3D drawing Friday and I will post it then. We also found out today we will have funding complete on Friday so it is moving faster than we thought it would.

Braziel pool build

Today we signed the contract on our pool. We have decided to go with Austintatious pools as they seemed to want the business more than the others that we interviewed. It will be 32x18 and will be 6.5 feet deep with a 7 foot round spa, some boulders and a nice blue green look.
Will add pictures as the pool progresses.
I have attached a picture of the backyard from the "Pool Cam" which will be available as the pool progresses.
