This overlooks the property previously owned by MaryAnne's Uncle Ben. There is a lot of prior construction, footings, and water storage to remove.
Uncle Ben's property has been substantially flattened to make room for future renovations.
Instead of going with the entire courtyard using strictly brick pavers, we opted to create sections using concrete beams. It took nearly 4 months to complete.
Making slow progress building the separate concrete beams to contain the brick pavers. Each concrete beam is 12" thick (30.5 centimeters) and 8" wide (20.3 centimeters). They each contain 2 pieces of number 16 rebar. The concrete was poured using Sahara waterproofing material.

This was at the very start of the pool project. Here, some of the workers are spreading dirt from the higher spots.
A little more progress on the initial retaining walls for the pool.
The is the original pool company installing the floor rebar beams. So many corners are being cut in this picture. There should have been vertical beams in each corner, along with vertical beams adjoining the horizontal floor beams. Lastly, there should have been a continous horizontal beam along the top of the walls. This pool was doomed from the start.
The rebar is installed and the floor of the concrete is poured. We found out much later that this pool company incorrectly built our pool resulting in the pool leaking.

The original pool company has been fired and a new company hired. The old tiles have been removed and the new, stronger rebar beams are being put into place.
This is the second pool company we hired to rebuild the defective pool made by the original pool company. Please note the substantial vertical and horizontal rebar beams that weren't there from the prior installation.
