Here is a link to a YouTube presentation that I followed to make these. This guy is terrific. He can make anything with foam and cement! You can also fashion rocks from the Great Stuff in a can. You just squirt the foam into sand and mound it up like a rock and then when it begins to harden...

Thanks so much, didn't think anyone was reading. :-D

Final video of the project. Still phase 2 to be done which is the lower bar deck. But the waterfall looks great...bet you don't see that too often on an ABP! Proud of it. But doesn't seem to interest anybody else on these boards??? O well. Thanks for the chemical advice. View My Video

O.K. after just under 1 month from installation, the main deck is finished and we opted to go with just plain linear forms instead of circular...just too time consuming and waste of materials. We used reed fencing as a temporary privacy screen but plan on constructing a Hog Wire fence on the...

We'll just keep praying and thinking of you and yours. Yes, Hang in there! This too shall pass.

Casey: so worried you haven't posted in 7 days! What's going on? So hope all is better! :cry:

Construction of deck coming along...we can now get into our pool! Yea! Building in 100 degrees with 60% humidity is no picnic. And we wait till the weekend to build so it will take a while...hope to have another big section to the right of the "bridge" to the pool done next weekend and then...

Do not have a heater, we swim year round here almost! But this pool has vinyl rails at the bottom and vinyl caps, coping and struts, in fact the only metal parts are the walls themselves and some screws...it mostly snaps together. So where will I attach the wire to the pool. I could attach to...

Bama, tell me about the bonding wire. We have not connected one yet. Diagram is fuzzy...could you offer a link with the right config. Copper #8 wire that should be installed from the lug on our Aqua Trol SWG to the pump and then to a grounded metal source right???

On order now :wink:

Thanks so much Charlie and Bama!!!! Don't know why he didn't think of that! So no one likes the fully digital metering testers? I will order the TF100 if not!

Want to know if the digital testers are worth the money. First pool, I just had my water analized by my local Leslie's and my pool always sparkled, but this time out, (Just put in new AGP) I am out in the country and can't run to Leslies every week. Which brand would you recommend? If you...

One thing I have learned....ahem....are learning after 62 years. Don't sweat the small stuff and don't beat yourself up over it! It's just one of those things that will burn through your brain but no one else will even notice!! They will be having too much fun in your new pool! Just make it...

yes, exactly that here too, but the water level in the pool is right in the 3rd grout line down on the liner print. Water level never lies! I was amazed too and our level is only about 1/8 of inch hubby says!

http://tinypic.com/r/2naqs83/5 View My Video Here are 2 videos we took today, our first swim. Still don't even have the ladder working yet, but couldn't resist. We hard plumbed the filtration/pump today, no leaks Now for the phase II deck project so we can get to the pool! We love the...

Looks great....and we love our liner too, the same one, don't you just love how sparkly the little white tiles look...here's ours and we actually got to swim in it today: Just click on View My Video That's our ladder floating around, we had an issue with it but we figured it out. View My Video

Re: Rounding the Corner to a New Pool Build Casey: here's my thread: post552556.html#p552556 I think I have it in the wrong area :hammer: But anyway, I'd like your comments on my build. Those guys came at 10:30 and just left at 1:30! Now for the hard work, the decking! Water is going in...

Installers came at 10:30 and left at 1:30!~ Phase II is to start tomorrow- hard plumbing, installation of salt cell and water fall with equipment housing and then we can begin the PITA!, phase III, deck. But in the meantime, we can swim tomorrow afternoon, will take a pic of our pitcher of...

Re: Rounding the Corner to a New Pool Build My installers are here tomorrow, does that mean you'd like mine too....I have another thread started "Worried about my retaining wall" but no one has replied to it yet. I'll be recording the procedure.

I have always wondered why step/ladder designers cannot create these in blue???!!! They need to match the liners. JMHO! And don't try to get me to believe that they need to contrast the pool liner so you won't trip......ugh why are inground steps the same colors?

Re: Rounding the Corner to a New Pool Build What wonderful news! We want pictures girl!!!! As soon as you two can hop in and paddle around! :whoot:

Well, thought I'd start a new thread to go along with our new build. We live out in the country and have 1/2 acre of wooded land in the Texas Hill country. We had an AGP at our previous house and were pretty proud of what we did with that: But with our new property, and the new Sharkline...

Re: Rounding the Corner to a New Pool Build rkol-My two cents for what they're worth is that when you finally fill the pool the force/weight of the water will force the columns back into plumb...just my expectation. There is nothing to oppose the columns with no water against them now. My...

Re: Rounding the Corner to a New Pool Build We have now installed some 4X4 posts with metal ripple roofing between to make another "retaining element" in front of the ties and plan on backfilling behind and in front of the ties to offer opposing force to the ties, the pool will be right behind...

Split from rounding-the-corner-to-a-new-pool-build-t56134.html Please always start your own thread rather than hijack. :wink: Thanks, Butterfly I wished you were in Texas Karma and I'd take you up on that. SOOOO worried about our retaining wall problems. The installer has yet to even...

Re: Rounding the Corner to a New Pool Build Hi Casey: well I started reading your post tonight and got very excited because we have a very similar build on the downside of a hill like yours, not as great a slope, so I was actively engaged in your story, I too have the same liner! And then POW...

Re: HELp!! got most of my new 18X33 Sharkline Matrix install From what I have researched, the unibead, which is what we ordered, can be changed simply without lifting the rails, and if we go that route, the deck would be above the rails enough to change the liner. My husband and I framed out...

Re: HELp!! got most of my new 18X33 Sharkline Matrix install We take delivery of our Sharkline 18' round tomorrow, and have hired an installer. We are building the surrounding deck and have already completed phase 1. Still waiting before starting on the part that will meet the pool itself. I...

We had an Intex SWG for 3 years and are now putting in a new ABG pool in our new back yard. We wouldn't dream of NOT using a SWG, we loved it. It was almost care free except for having to clean the cell plates, but I enjoyed doing this once a week while in the pool. I used vinegar to clean...
