For todays Work-in-Progress Wednesday update, By The Blade takes you inside the shotcrete sandbox, the application zone of a magical compound that brings a construction pit one step closer to a luxury oasis. This is the Picasso moment of swim-spa sculpting... and its a blast. The beauty of shotcrete is its versatility. Once the slightly damp mix is compacted into the frames by the high-velocity air gun, it can be carved and molded to exactly the shape that the skilled artisans envision. The gentleman holding the hose may be the best local talent in the business. His signature shotcrete recipe took him 30 years to perfect, and offers an ideal combination of strength and malleability. With eight 15-foot piers supporting 35 cubic yards of concrete, this Johnson-Country swim spa from By The Blade will be not only beautiful, but also long-lasting. Check in with us tomorrow to see how the sculpting session turned out.
