Phase 8

The Dig	More digging	Boulders arrive	Digging the keywall trench	Steel	Plumbing
Gunite	Placing the boulders	Trench work	Tile and coping	Deck drain and retaining wall	Perimeter wall
Stairs	Stucco

Phase 8:  We hired a crane to set the boulders. With considerable difficulty the crane managed to get close to the pool. And with luck on our side the boulders all fit into place without a hitch.

The crane gets frighteningly close to the pool	The crane levitates	We nervously watch as the third boulder passes over the pool	The sixth and final boulder
Dave Terwilliger, pool builder extroardinaire, decides to relieve the crane of some stress	The crane manages to work its way back down the hill	The six rocks in place	Another view
The three rocks surrounding the fountain	The largest rock - 4,000 pounds	The baja step with surrounding rocks	It looks like it belongs there. Doesn't it?
