So we finally started our pool project . Our PB is about 3-4 weeks behind because of the rain and weather here in Ohio this summer. I thought we would be swimming by the first week in August, but it wasn't meant to be. I did my research and talked to 4 different builders and ended up going with the best! I personally know a couple people he has installed and I also volunteer at a summer camp where he built the pool.
To prep I removed 15 large Maple. Oak and the biggest sassafras tree I have ever seen. I also cut down and HAND SPLIT all of the wood myself, about 10 cords so far. The trees were over hanging the area for the pool and were just mostly unsightly. I have plans to do some landscaping up there and needed room for my hog pit (for all the pool parties coming up ). I had the company doing the excavation come out a day early and pull all the stumps for me. As they dug the pool I had them leave the dirt on the hill where the stumps were so that I can rent a bobcat and grade/level the area later.
Pool Details:
Fort Wayne Elite Polymer
Grecian 18'6" X 36'6"
Vinyl Liner
Deep End - Diving Board
Hayward 1HP Super Pump
Hayward Cartrige Filter
2 Returns
One Skimmer
8' Steps
Hayward Color Logic LED light
Layout
The Big Dig (you can see the area where the stumps were and now the dirt is!)
More pics to follow!
