Fixed???

Well, I got a call at school today that one of the gunite crews were open and able to come fix my spa and steps. Even though the original crew didn't do it right in the first place, we had to wait until the new crew had a job close by. We've waited a month. So much for the "We'll build it in 10 weeks, but you won't complain if we do it in 6." We're trying to be patient, but if you count a salesman problem that we had in the beginning, it's been since June.

The new crew wasn't responsible for the first team's mistake, and they said that they wanted to make me happy. First, they fixed the steps. I made a template for them to lay down on the steps as they added to them. No questions there. It was a smart decision to have it all ready for them. The shape is great, but they didn't add to the height like they were asked.

Then they fixed my side of the spa that the other guys had made 26" when it was supposed to be 19". Gurgle, gurgle...the sound of me under water if we left it that way. Then a problem came up that disappointed me due to the mistake by the first gunite crew. The back of my spa is at an angle. The original seat depth and bottom center circle was based on the 26" side and my husband's 22" side. When you add 7" to the 26" seat going up the wall, the seat gets much wider as it gets higher. I had to have them round the seat at the edge so that the circulation in my legs wouldn't be cut off. Hopefully that is a fix for the problem. My husband's side is a regular squared off seat. The bottom circle is now an egg shape. I need to have the finish people take a look to make sure that this will work for us. I also had them fix the depth of the spa floor. I hope it will be comfortable.
