Wow! What a great build. Really impressive that you did all of this yourself.

Any regrets? What do you think of the radiant pool-- do you think that the insulated wall stuff helps you?

Thanks, it was a long and physical project. The pool was the easy part[emoji3], we were swimming about a month after we started working on the trenches.

My only regret was that I didn’t just go buy a Kubota from the start. I spent $3000 on rentals for digging the hole, French drain, trench for the wall, etc. So 80% of the processes gravel, crushed stone, and sand was shoveled in by hand, something like 150 yards worth.

The pool is great. We were in the water on October 1st last year, water was still 73. Not bad for MA. Now I have a heater.

Well, it has been a long haul, but we are done, even moved some of our garden into the pool area.
Not too far off from my original design, one view of that is my avatar.
