Did they include that in the price of the build? That has to be expensive. Wow

It was all included in the price. I told them you WILL hit rock. I see these post where the dig, plumb, and rebar in a day or 2, not in my back yard.

My cousin's mom's pool hit rock, they wanted an extra $1,000 per day or per foot (I don't recall which). They ended up with a pool that was something under 4' deep

Hey beachman - I'm from just down the road here in Dripping Springs. It's been a brutal Texas summer, eh?
I really like the design. We did a swim-up bar as well and it is a popular gathering place in the pool.
Best of luck on the rest of the build!

Nice look pool Beachman...
I'm in the process of building at the moment as well. Quick question for you: the plumbing sticking up from the bottom of your pool, are they returns? What are they?

The pipes are the Paramount in-floor cleaner. There are 6 stations with a total of 19 heads.
