Chemical injection for both pool and deck area. We do live in Texas
where our soil is notoriously bad.

We are laying our own sod and handling the redo of the sprinkler system.

Wanted a fireplace but costs were getting too high. We will add that later.

Not too late to make changes and I have learned a ton from everyone on here so thank you in advance. We are getting excited!!

Congrats and hello fellow Corinthian! I am looking forward to your build. We are going on our 2nd season with our pool. We didn't do the soil injection thing. We have a salt pool and it has been soo easy to maintain its ridiculous.
 
Hello! I was hesitant on the soil injection but my sister has a pool that they have spent tens of thousands of dollars fixing on due to ground settling. Figured I would try to prevent future issues now. Can't wait to get started but heard the City of Corinth takes forever to issue permits. Did you have delays because of our city?

Welcome to Pool Building!! Wow, you've got your ducks all in a row! I'm impressed with your details and how you've already made your selections. We have Gunite, and I just now have my materials chosen. You'll enjoy the build much more without dividing your attentions with tile/stone shopping.

I'll leave comments on the specs to the experts! Please post pictures of the design and certainly many photos of the progress!! I can't wait to see your pool build. Thanks for sharing, Texas neighbor!! Take care! Suz.
 
Yes. The inspector was difficult on occasion. Ours was built in the fall/winter months. Sometimes he wouldn't get out of his truck to look at anything because it was muddy. All sod has to be down before he will give you the final inspection. Then you can fill up the pool.
 
Thanks Suz. I am fast on decisions. Lots of research prior reading on here for the last year has helped too. Once I figure out how to post pics, I will. Family calls me Polly Polaroid so look out.
737mech - not looking forward to the city. I am a regularly vocal citizen at city hall and that might bite me in the butt here.

Let the pool builder deal with the city. Glade to hear you are active in our local government. I only spoke to the inspector once during our build...I just happened to be home when he was there.
 
Congrats! Looks good! Blue granite pebble sheen is nice, it was our initial choice until we decided to do black.

I like to have some benches (swimouts) around the pool to sit an sip and for kids to play on and rest in deeper water.

Do you have layout drawing of the pool. The 8.5' depth at only 28' in length seems like you may have a very aggressive slope. I've been told my local PBs you want to reserve approx 20' to transition an 8' deep pool to 5'. That would leave very little shallow area.
