Oh dear! I hope you are on the mend now. We also have not yet had any progress. We have to complete a small retaining wall and fence before we can proceed with the pool... Arg

My skimmer came in this week and I installed it this weekend. Still working on the hard pluming and the placement of the pump and filter.

Here is my last weekends progress. Again it waits and storms on the weekends here. I wish I could get a full 2 days of work in. Take a wild guess what this weekends forecast is?

Hi Vettechick 
I've just bought the exact same pool .... And I'd love love love to put a deck around it just like this one, but sadly I do not have the space..... I am planning to put a Hayward thru the wall skimmer into mine also...So this is an excellent reference.... I've got about 6-7 more months before my summer hits, so I can take my time..

So excited to see another successful "in ground" Intex build. We just nicely finished our retaining wall today for our 12x22x52" (Bestway brand) pool, and off to get our concrete blocks for our supports tomorrow before starting the painstaking process of levelling. Although we initially dug a large enough hole (17 by 30), the guys who built our retaining wall left us pretty tight for space (only 16 by 25 1/2), so fingers crossed that once we get our supports up that we aren't too tight. For any of you that have done this "build" how much room did you leave around the perimeter to allow for the supports? I have been taking lots of pics every step of the way so once we have it completed (and figure out how to post them) I will add our pics as well
Re post 27
I have a question, is there a foam board below the pump and filter?
if that is a yes, does anybody have any experience doing it, do you think is a good idea, problems?
What is your opinion?
Piolin, I leveled the ground for my equipment pad. Then I put down a piece of the extruded insulation and topped that with paving /step stones.worked out great. I did it so there'd be no weeds and also because we have moles and just step stones on dirt shift when a mole burrows under them. This way I don't have to worry about either.
Seems like there are several of us kshuf. Ours is a 12x22x52" but for the most part the process is the same. Here is the thread I started on ours http://www.troublefreepool.com/thre...ntex-(type)-Pool-build-what-were-we-thinking-!
