Plaster is the LAST thing before we add water !

The plaster crew ( 7 in all ) made it look like a pool.

Hand mixed on-site, the plaster is delivered in wheel barrows and dumped in the pool hole.  The guys THROW the wet plaster on with buckets and trowel it in / on the the surfaces.
 
The guys wear tall, spikey shoes to keep them off the wet plaster - then change to foam rubber "snow shoes" during the smoothing phases.

We chose white plaster so the color changing lights would show the best.

This is the 'beach' area and steps.

 
Ivan's Pool Plastering of Corona, California did our plastering.  We really liked their work and crew. 
 
We'd recommend them to anyone.

The entire pool is hand troweled and smooth -- great job guys!
 
4 hours and the plaster is complete !
 
Now add water immediately ...
This took 24 hrs and 17,000 gallons!
