Getting a in-ground pool.

[OrangeChevyII]

I didn't think so myself, I was very pleased with the price.

Ah, thanks.

We just got our estimate last night, and it was ~ $500/ft. Damn, and that was with no landscaping. Ouch!

Sam's pools in Forney is my top choice, Hobert out of Rockwall is next.....any body have a negative experience with them or recommend another company?

Hey man if you are still lookin send me a pm, my father builds pools for a living.

[Jewmadbro?]

Cleans and repairs them too

an update

[Sleeper]

no endless waterfall no care.

Looks good brian.

[OrangeChevyII]

Thats what's coming out of the spa man!

[Sleeper]

I noticed that after i posted, but a true balla would have the whole pool doing that shit.

[OrangeChevyII]

Unfortunately I'm just a lower case b.

[akfodysvn]

looks really good, that angle makes it look small for some reason though. Going to be finished just in time man!

[OrangeChevyII]

It is pretty small, 27x17. It's just big enough to kick back and relax and listen to the waterfall. Should be done in a couple weeks.

Me neither... I do have to add acid, but our pool aerates continuously with the rock spillover from the spa to the pool, and I assume you know that aeration causes pH to rise.

I follow the BBB method and have no issues. Definitely less headache after adding Borax last year.

And tabs? Dude your CYA will go through the roof and you'll be burning Cl in the summer like a mofo requiring a water change. Had to drain part of my parents pool last summer due to this.

More info on the BBB method?


He's right on the degradation of the coping, as I continually have sand in mine from the flagstone breaking down. Right on PH, right on cell life. Hell, I bought a new cell last year and this year the control box is acting like it's shorting out.

Pools are a pain in the ass!

mikec, that's a nice pic with the barn/shop in the back ground, tractor and all.

Thanks, Would have been really nice if the horses had done a walk through about then...

And I'll be glad when I can finish the barn/shop. Currently awaiting insulation and sheet rock. Have the materials, just need the time and motivation.
