Pebble-Teching finished!

This morning at 05:45 in my sleep induced coma, thought I heard a doorbell ring. After going to the front door I discovered that there were in fact Shasta people outside. Ok, I know I made that sound like I wasn't expecting them, when in fact I was. :) Anyway, here are some photos from the pebble-teching process.

Overall I found the process VERY interesting. They started out by putting a submersible pump in the bottom of the pool and washing the pool out. Then they put a different pump and started spraying this oatmeal looking substance along the side of the pool. I was looking at this totally dumbfounded on how they get pebble-tech coating out of this. Was this a base coat that they stuck the pebble coating to? No idea...until...

Until I saw them smoothing out the sides. Actually this confused me even more since this looked like it was just being platered. But I decided to be patient and see what happened.

After about an hour I looked back out, and they were still smoothing the sides. Then I noticed that they were taking their water mister and spraying that against the sides. It would take off the top layer of 'plaster' looking material, and leave what looked like pebble-tech. Then they would do the whole process of smoothing and watering over again. By the end it was a smooth looking pebble-tech interior.








Here's the finished pebble-tech interior. Tomorrow they should be back to acid wash it (with Muratic Acid) and start filling the pool. By this weekend, we'll be swimming!!!!




Here's the drain in the center of the pool.

The steps leading to the shallow end.

The love seat on the far end of the pool.
