Here is the big digger going at it. They dig out the deep end knowing they will hit some water, which they did. They put a pump into the water today and pumped it out into the field so they could get to the pool and form the sides up with shovels. After the digger then the real digging starts with shovels
The dirt around the pool is road base. It will pack well and hold the cement better than the dirt they pulled out of the bottom of the pool.
I need about 2 feet of the road base around the pool where the deck will go.
You can see the braces in the pool holding the walls up and even as everyone is working around it.
The machines that have been busy working. This post is pictures from Wednesday. Today, Thursday, they are placing the rock around the road base. It looks nice. If it will stop raining enough for them to get into the deep end without falling they will work on the deep end forming it up with shovels.

I wish it would stop raining too. But I can't wait to see it finished.
