I must compliment you on a nice and timely build. My pool was dug and the gunite completed before you even broke ground on yours. I am sitting at home today waiting for pre plaster inspection in anticipation of plaster hopefully tomorrow. I am awestruck you did this whole project in less time it...

Re: Gunite to plaster question for the educated and builders Thank you sir!!!

My pool has been sitting for approximately 5 months through the rainy season. It has about a foot of murky water in it throughout the bottom. It has also developed a slime layer, it is almost moss. My builder is planning on plastering soon and I need to know if anything needs to be done besides...

I'm still here.... I wish I could say it has been smooth sailing, but it has not. Between county hang ups and the weather our build is now 3 months overdue. I really don't want to say much more then that right now.....

We signed with the builder and should start in the next couple of weeks. Permits here take forever, so it is all dependent on the county offices….. My builder worked long and hard with us to make this fit our budget. He was very helpful and made it work for us. In my opinion he went above and...

Sorry, I was already typing the other post!!!! We can lock this if needed....

Re: New SoCal Build for your review!!!! Already updating!!! The depth is 3.5' to 5.5' and the pool should calc out to 12,000 gallons.

We have an initial bid with a builder that I would like you to review. It is vague as of now because we only have had one meeting. I have explained to the builder that we want a detailed estimate to include all specs before we go any further. We have a meeting early next week so I am trying to...

Thanks for the info so far.... I am unsure of what type of cleaner we will use or if one is included. The estimate is a little vague as of now. It was more of just a baseline after our first meeting. The builder did mention a Hayward Navigator as a $700 upgrade, but I don’t know if there is a...

Hello all, I hope this is the proper forum for this question as I don't want to spam..... Do we have a classified section anywhere? or can someone point me to a site besides Craigs or Ebay (More pool specific) to advertise a pool for sale. We have decided to sell our brand new, never installed...

Not much help on the install, but a neighboe is doing one of these right now..... http://www.secardpools.com/pools/islander I went and looked at it and it is very simple construction. This guy sales the same kit for the DIY crowd..... http://sunwestpools.net/

Re: Yes pool fans, it's another build/install-Prince George I am watching your build. We just bought the same model pool in a smaller size.....

Love those pavers on the deck!!!

Re: New Pool - SE Pennsylvania Subscribing as I am about to start a fiberglass build!!!! Thanks for the thread, it has some great info.....

Thank you!!! I think I have what I need.....

I guess I would have to figure plaster/pebble in there to!!!!

I tried to search and came up empty..... What does gunite or shotcrete cost installed per foot or yard? What does steel cost per foot? I have stumbled into a great deal on a fiberglass pool that fits my needs perfectly. I am trying to determine the cost vs savings by comparing the shell price...

Thanks for the info so far. We are in SoCal and leaning toward taller for a bench!!!!

First of many post as we get ready to start our build..... I have noticed various raised spa heights. The norm seems to 12 inches and I have seen others at 7 inches. How or what influenced your decision on what height to set your spa? I originally wanted it flush, but we have decided to raise...
