TCD, Great job!!! Can't wait to hear/see the rest.

Here is a shot of the hot tub:

This block was delivered on Friday afternoon. I think it is going to be used to enlarge the building just a bit to enclose new pool equipment. If you look in the background of the photo, you will see re-bar sticking out of the footers:

I had originally surmised that these pad footings (shot in Tony's video) were to support the water tower and slide, but after seeing the base and the lip-cut in the pool, they would seem to support the ramp/stairs to get to the top of the slide.

The solid concrete pad behind the 7 pads in the second photo appears to be the one pictured in TCDs latest pics that the tower base is now erected on. The lip-cut in the pool would be pretty much right beyond that. I'm guessing the slide will basically wind one full turn around the tower.

Great pics, great information, does anyone have an idea is this project on schedule, behind or early??? Making our way there in Late March and early April. Completion was scheduled for march 20th and opening march 21st. Any information

Guess I shouldn't be so picky but I was kind of hoping it wouldn't be an enclosed slide. They sort of freak me out.

Thanks TCD!

From looking at the pieces of the slide in the pics...I dont get the impression that it will be an enclosed slide.

I agree with Rog, pretty sure it is open at the top, not a full tube.

I think Shan-man is right about this.

Here is a photo of the area in question. I think the little boxed areas are on top of the concrete squares visible in Tony's video:

I am also guessing that these will be the footers for the stairs that take you up to the slide. I think the slide will be open, and will loop around the tower once, and then deposit the riders into the pool.

With regard to the pool depth, this photo shows that they have cut into the pool bottom to set the new pipes. It looks to me like the two boxes in the back of the photo will be the intakes into the filtration system, and the pipes sticking up will be the returns. I these returns are going to be cut so that all is level with where the intake boxes currently sit. Then, a new bottom is going to be poured. My guess is that the pool floor will sit level with the intake boxes that we see here:

It looks like they are just about done with this. If you use the areas visible in the wall where the pool lights will go as guides, you can see that this is all going to be the same depth.

Great shots! Is there any sign of a splash pad yet?

TCD our hero!!! Great sleuthing!

I hope you are right. I was looking at the one at Hilton Head, silly me.

 

[Whipperwhirl]

Omg thank you so much for the photos - Whip

 

[BradyBz12]

Super sleuthing as always, TCD - thanks!

 

[Thumper_ehhhhh]

Great job on the pics. It looks like they made the pool rim higher to make it a bit deeper. I was beginning to wonder when they first layed the pipes it looked like the deep end was going to be about 3 to 4 ft deep. Now it looks like at least 5. Great shots of the slide tower. I see its at the shallow end of the pool. The jets in the pool. Do you think there going to try and make the water a bit more rough like a swimmin hole? Not just flat and calm.

I am just excited that they have installed a hot tub! But I wonder if one will be enough??

Yep 1 is enough. When i'm there it's mine mine mine lol. It is not the biggest but sence you shouldn't stay in it all day hopefully it will be. One is still better then none. Now if it has cup holders nope its way to small nobody will leave then.

Where is the swim-up bar going? I don't see any sign of it yet!

If I bring my kids' inflatable pool, it is under my awning in the 500 loop! First week of April, and first week of December...The kungaloosh will be cold and strong! C'mon by!
