[guhn-ahyt] Pronunciation Key –noun a mixture of cement, sand or crushed slag, and water, sprayed over reinforcement as a lightweight concrete construction.Day 10 brought the big trucks out to pour the gunite. This was very exciting for all of us and the whole process of spraying, carving, smoothing, etc. was quite fascinating to me in particular...I must have been getting in touch with my inner little boy or something.
The guys showed up at the "butt-crack of dawn," loosely translated as around 6:00-6:30 a.m., to set up the forms (boards and sheeting) around the outer area of the pool so they could begin spraying/pouring the gunite at 7 a.m. Considering the scale of work they were doing, we were pretty surprised that they were done by lunchtime!
Since I took so many pictures, I added a slideshow below that will hopefully give you a good idea of all they did. I've added captions, too, to add a litte more detail. **
**If you're not familiar with using this slideshow tool, here are a few tips:
- click on the "+" sign to speed up or the the "-" to slow down the pictures.
- roll your mouse over the bottom of each picture which will momentarily stop the scroll so you can read the caption.

The slide show is awesome! The great thing about living in Texas (or, Florida for that matter . . .) is that you should be able to use your pool at least 300 days out of the year, right?!?
