Poolman & Us
The Hot Tub and Fire pit job we just did with Poolman. Scott is a nice guy to work with.

Re: Poolman & Us
What part did "Poolman" do the fire pit?
 Everyone knows that fire and water don't go well together.

Re: Poolman & Us
I just asked because the arrangement of stone and the offset of the hot tub looks like water is pumped from the top to flow down

Re: Poolman & Us
Nice before and after Nick.
"I was expecting a build in gunite spa!" Not this time Rusk.  It's a portable tub with small mahoganny deck on two sides. Tom-Fire and Water do go together. It's very nice having a fire feature near a pool or spa.

Re: Poolman & Us
That's one Hot Tub that won't be used in the winter! Rule One: Keep It Close! The rock work is amazing. I'd love that on the side of my house.

Re: Poolman & Us
In the before and after. What happened to the real pointy part of the house in the before pic, sort of looks like an inverted cone. It's gone in the after pic.
Did you have a mishap with the excavator?

Re: Poolman & Us
We tore it down. It was an old silo that was in bad shape. It had a new roof but the structure was bad

Re: Poolman & Us
Ray, did you miss the story of the hill job and "NO" pool? Glad to see you around. Get in the truck and come up for lunch.

Re: Poolman & Us
The owner added more work to the job. We made a boulder wall courtyard in the front of the house.
The baby and the cry baby. I'm referring to the machines.
