Filling the pool!!!

More pics...

Thanks, Jason. It only feels fast here at the end. Waiting from the time we signed up until now was excruciating! :hammer: We loved the mountain pond shape given the contours and features of our yard. I'm very happy with it. We are filling it up now and, with luck should be swimming by...

Mitch, congrats on great taste in pool shapes! :cheers: We are also doing a waterslide but it can't be installed until the concrete decking is installed and cures (about 3 weeks). So...we figured that we wouldn't really be able to use the slide much this summer anyway and decided to wait...

2nd try...

Didn't get all of the pictures (files too big). I will post when I get them shrunk. Sorry.

We finally got started last Friday, July 23rd! And should be swimming by Saturday, July 7th! My wife took the camera on a trip so I only have the latest pics. When she gets back on Sunday, I can post the "before" photos to show the yard prior to removal of trees and grass. We had to have...

We live in Forest Hills. Sorry for the late reply. We've been trying to get a dig date since May!!! We are finally up and running on the build. Walls went up today, cement bottom in tomorrow. Sheesh.

Well my wife and I are soon to be pool newbies! Having a pool is something I have wanted to do since I was a kid. I put it off for lots of reasons but last year, after buying my new house, I decided to do it. A conversation with DW and some additional savings later we have started the process...

Thanks, all! I am brandy new to all of this and am rushing to educate myself. I want ask the right questions and get the right set up, but I honestly don't have the time or inclination (or the knowhow) to get too involved in managing my PB's plans. With that said... I've been told that a 1...

I love this site! It has been a big help as we plan for our new pool. One question I have had is about pipe size. I have noticed a number of posts that recommend 2 or 2 1/2 inch pipes. My PB uses 1 1/2 inch pipes. When I asked about it he sailed that the fittings are standard at 1 1/2 inches...

Thanks! That's what we're going to get.

My PB has talked up his cement pool bottom for my IG. Others have advertised vermiculite or sand. Is one better than another or is it simply personal preference?
