This pool deck was installed about a week before these pictures were taken. They finished sandblasting it today, the standing water is from them washing off the sand.

Bad corner. You can't see it, but there is also about a 1/2" (12.5mm) vertical displacement.

Corner cracking, below.

Look at this core job.

More bad coring below.

This is a decent core, shown below. It needs to be grouted, or the steel will rust from the standing water.

This is a socket for a hydraulically operated handicap lift. It is connnected to a water line and compressor. It's just poorly installed. It doesn't sit flush, and the concrete is cracked. And, it's not aligned well with the pool coping.

The depth numbers are not oriented the same way. WTF? The pool has not been plastered yet, that's why it looks crappy.

The other side is the same way. How did this happen?

The other hydrolift socket, at the spa.

This is how they solved the coring issue - however - this ramp does not have any obstruction to it, requiring the cores be offset. They just did it, for the hell of it, I guess.

Cracking.

More cracking - departing the control joint, as well. Weird.

These skimmer tops are supposed to be isolated with joints, and are not. Note the far crack does not follow the joint. They did not use a 'weakened plane" tool to actually weaken the concrete before they tooled the joint.

WTF were they thinking here? If I asked someone to do this deliberately (as if i would), they would tell me it is impossible to do without spalling off the weak side of the concrete.

I have more pictures, but they just show more of the same. Thanks for visiting!
