Cave In!

We were gone for about 24 hours and this is what it looked like upon our return on Sunday afternoon:


Looks like they got quite a bit of work got done ... the rebar is really taking shape and the excavator only has a few hours' work in the deep end. I like what I can see of the bench we added to the walk-in steps, along the lanai, that you can see in the right side of the picture above.

Some of the spa drains and lines are in, the mesh around it has given it shape, and I really like the steps that we added on both sides. The idea is that someone can swim up to easily get out of the pool and into the spa. Or, someone could sit there and visit with someone else inside the spa.

Unfortunately, the deepest end wall appears to have caved in and the de-watering pump is working hard. It's a little bit scary how close the hole is to the foundation of the house. Part of the pool framing is dangling in mid-air. I can understand why the backhoe operator stopped digging. We'll find out how they're going to solve this tomorrow.
