Hey Richard..............I could use one of those too. What's "her" name!

 

[Samantha Sabrina]

Does she come standard with new pools or is she and added option?....giggles

Looks great

Is that sand or concrete in the middle?

 

[rpm90001]

Its mason sand, but the picture does look like concrete. I still have a lot to do, I'm going to build a deck, still have to finish the electric. I think I did it right. Paid $1600 for the pool liner and skimmer kit. I removed a neighbors pool for the Hayward pump and DE filter and all the pool accessories. Also got most of e electric from another neighbor who had there pool 2years and removed it .. Wiring, timer, both GFCI, and when I took down the neighbors pool it gave me a place to dump my dirt from the install. With doing all the work myself. I will have about 2k into it. The kids are getting excited!

Looks like you did a good job

That seems like an awful lot did this included installation?

Sounds like a great deal

Are the kids old enough to have helped you during the process?

Transit Pole holders?

String line level readers?

Mined absolutely loved our pool build process.....in fact i think they liked it better when the yard was all dirt.

kids are 3 and 5, my 3yr old helped by throwing rocks in the sand.. Did I pay too much? What is an average price for 21' pool,skimmer kit,and liner? They wanted $6000 for the pool and full install.

Oh, I thought you meant 1600 for liner and skimmer only For pool, assuming new, that is a good price.

Yes, it was new....I thought it was fair, you had me second guessing.. Thanks!

anyone here burn their lawn while warming the liner in the sun before install? I did the install my self so my lawn would not get messed up, but now I have a 21' circle in my lawn from having the liner spread out. it burned the grass. Will it come back?
