DAY 2 - February 17th  GUNITE

Spring Pools has some of the best swimming pool sub-contractors in the business.  Not just for the quality work they do, but their dependabilty and flexiblity.  Modern Method was able to push up their scheduled time and start a half day early.  A pool this size takes six to seven hours to put into gunite.  Once started, you can't stop until its finished.
