Do you know what is Gunite? Today was 'spray the pool lining ' day!
Trucks started arriving early this morning. In the back yard and even in the front.
One truck contains the gunite (pure sand and cement dry mix) and the other truck is the air compresser (3000 ppsi) tanker.
For the technically minded, namely my grandson, here is the process of applying gunite to the pool walls and floor. It took about 5 hours of work today.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking pool, and I had no idea how this was done. Thank you for such an interesting educational piece today. I get to live another day because I learned something new.
ReplyDeleteI concur with Abigail and the kids - Wow!

I cannot believe he is in the pool when he sprays that!
ReplyDeleteIt is looking good and I love the stairs and ledges.
Will they be making it blue? Do they use paint? I need to know what happens next!
