Pool Build

[Sean88gt]

I can't believe how expensive pools are. My BIL just dropped 50k on one. They went 6' deep in the back end, but wanted it shallow on the front end for the kids, I swear, that fucking thing is closer to 7.5' deep with very little useable space for his kids.

I'm actually surprised it passed inspection.

Why wouldn't pass inspection?

Equipment and final plumbing is in.

damn, i'm a little jelly. Both very badass pools. Making me not like my pool....

I love the pics, never seen a pool build before !

Very nice, both of them. I hope to put one in some day. Hopefully won't have to wait until I'm retired. lol

Very nice! Get them to guesstimate on the volume before they leave..... I wish I knew an accurate volume of my pool/spa combo! (Kidney shaped, various depths, etc.)

If you're in the city limits, they had to pull a permit, and it should have the specs on it. HOA may have it as well, if you have one.


I need to finish moving the last rocks, and cleanup some stuff to get some decent pics. It's too hard to get out of the new pool to do work! It is great, and trying not get a whole summer's use out of these last few weeks.

I agree completely!! Also, I won't hijack the thread to show you mine... Next time you're out in Aledo Charles, let me know!

You're semi-retired as it is man.

True dat.

They put in the gas line and backwash line yesterday. Electrical, deck framing and concrete will be sometime this week.

I don't recall the volume off hand, but it is on my paper work.

[mustang1200]

There hasn't been much picture worthy updates. They put in all the plumbing, equipment, electrical, and now the deck framing. Concrete should go in tomorrow after the inspection.




I took this one with a potato.

Who did the digging for this pool?

I can't remember the name of the contractor that dug the hole but I can find out.

[Stunter Bob]

Just curious, A buddy of mine owns H&H out of Mesquite and digs quite a few pools in the metroplex. Good bunch of guys if they did it.

Digging it is the easy part.
