Activity at the Pool Site Continues

Time to get the pump set in place in the pit. The weather on Monday was beautiful for this work to get done.
In this photo on the edge of the zero entry area you can see the small drains in place ready for the last section on concrete to get poured. The gutter company is scheduled to arrive on March 25th and the project is estimated to take a week.
The diving board platforms were poured on Monday morning.

Bathhouse Progress

Work continues on the pump pit.


The bathhouse front entrance - the large opening is for a roll up door for the main entrance with a small door on the side. All of the interior bathhouse wall forms have been removed.
Plumbing contractor Kelch Plumbing and Heating has arrived to start the rough plumbing on the bathhouse.

Bathhouse interior walls poured on Thursday

Thursday afternoon they poured the interior bathhouse walls


These are the interior walls formed up Thursday morning


The sand is being packed around the exterior of the pool in anticipation of the stainless steel gutters being fitted. They will add more depth all the way around the pool.

More Pool Progress

The Bathhouse with the forms removed from it Wednesday. They are now setting up the forms for the inside walls of the bathhouse which should be poured on Thursday. Beautiful weather!


They also poured another section of the pool floor. The gutter people have not arrived yet and so the final section of the pool will not be poured until the gutter is put in - THE POOL WILL BE DEEPER THAN IT LOOKS NOW!!!!!!! THE GUTTER WILL ADD ANOTHER 12 - 14 INCES OF DEPTH TO THE ENTIRE POOL!!!!!!!

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.
