Bathhouse walls poured on Tuesday

Roth and Troyer got the bathhouse walls formed up on Monday and finished Tuesday. The cement pumper truck came around 1:00 p.m. and the cement walls were poured for the bathhouse. Still waiting for the company to come to do the gutters around the pool which they expect to take a full week. Then the last part of the zero entry will be poured to meet up with the gutter.

Bathhouse Construction Progress

On Thursday afternoon, Roth and Troyer Construction arrived with several truckloads of forms and workers.

They began the process of building the rebar mesh that will be inside the walls when they pour them early next week. The upright rebar had been in place since the footings were poured and now they are adding the horizontal rebar and wire tying it all together.

The pool sump area is now enclosed with a metal rail.

Roth and Troyer have one wall done with the horizontal rebar in this photo and continue work on the east side

Zero Entry Area will be close to Parking

In a web post of February 5th it stated that "If you drive by or look at the picture you can see that this area is very close to the existing sidewalk. The sidewalk and parking in this area will have to be removed." This is incorrect! The zero entry area will have a four foot deck which is essentially where the sidewalk is now, a fence and the parking area will stay the same.

Pool Floor nearly completed

As you can see from this picture, much of the pool floor is poured. The section on the left side of the picture will be poured Thursday and then it will be time for the stainless steel gutter to be put on around the pool. This is a custom job that will take at least a week. According to Christiansen Construction, after this the last section of the pool floor at the zero entry will be poured. Quite a bit of sand is packed around the outside walls of the pool and more dumptrucks full of dirt have been hauled off again this week. No progress on the bathhouse yet as they are waiting until the dirt is packed around the pool and the ground is stable.

Pumping Cement almost daily

Double cement trucks are waiting to dump - cement samples are also being pulled and tested.
Pouring the floor of the deep end of the pool.


Activity is almost constant. Erdkamp-Ekeler Construction has had their dump truck hauling dirt out constantly from the site along with Village Maintenance Supervisor John Mueller. The cement trucks are present daily with cement pumped into various sites around the pool. According to cement workers they poured the sloped deep end floor on Wednesday as well as the sides to the zero entry area.

Mid Plains Electric was present on Wednesday. It looked like they were doing some trenching for electrical lines.

The sand trucks from Overland are hauling in multiple loads every day still.

Moving mountains at the pool construction site

There has been a constant flow of trucks dumping sand, sand conveyed into pool areas, packed and ready to pour. Dump trucks have been moving more dirt out this week and it seems like the huge front end loader never stops running. The pictures above reflect from the top a skid loader dumping sand into the conveyor truck to be placed in the next picture next to the sump pit. The pit has been straightened and the pipes below are in place. Now the dirt around has been dug out extensively and it is being filled and packed with sand. In the bottom picture the footings for the zero entry area of the pool have been poured and the curved design is visible.
