DIY 32x16 ish pool on steep slope
- Thread starter pclausen

Please tell us that with all the incredibly detailed precise work can be halted long enough for YOU yourself to get in and enjoy that pool with the fam? 
Be honest, are you like me and once the project is done you move onto another as the thrill is the project and not really enjoying the result?
That you were able to build that honestly blows my mind. It looks completely professional.
Hi guys,
Figured I'd provide an update now that I'm in my 3rd season with this Intex pool. Over the winter I build a "power room" extension to the house facing towards the pool. So during April, I build a patio to butt up against the wood decking.
Unfortunately, the tree right next to the pool did not like having some of its roots cut, and started dropping all kinds of nasty stuff into the pool, so it had to go.

I love coming back to look at your build thread and am so happy you gave us an update. Your property and pool are amazing! You should be very proud of what your hands can build.

Thank you so much for the update! I remember reading this before. What a beautiful setting you have there!
Nice additions! Once again you have amazed me with your workmanship and attention to detail.
On another note, I noticed that the telescope pillar is still there. Still can't decide what to do with it?

Hey guys. I restored all my pictures to this thread by uploading them directly to the forum.
Just opened up the pool for its 6th season. Amazingly, the Intex pool is still looking good except the color has bleached out a lot. There is also heavy wear on the liner top edge from where the tarp cover rubs against it each winter when it is windy.
Some fresh pics I just took.
Starting in late 2017, I began installing solar panels and have 50 kw now, which is way more than what my house uses. They are mostly there to power my crypto mining operation, but having free power in the house is a nice bonus.
Drone shot from back in February:
Anyway, this will likely be the last season for this Intex pool/liner. I'm thinking this coming winter/spring, I'll look at replacing the Intex with a "real" in-ground vinyl pool from PoolWarehouse.com. Anyone have experience with those guys, good or bad?
