2018: Fiberglass install uxbridge ointario

[PoolguyinCT]

I shot for the low side of 1/8" per foot so pretty much exactly what you are saying.

It's amazing how the trucks can hold more yards than meters. You guys must use lightweight concrete.

Obviously!! Don’t forget a pound of rocks weighs more than a pound of feathers

That DOES explain it very well! THANKS!

I don’t understand “ truck mixing”

 

[uxbridgechris]

I don’t understand “ truck mixing”

The question Kim asked was, if I ordered two trucks with 5 meters each, will they mix the 2 trucks on site to insure color consistency. Which we know in theory would be near impossible to do. i should have explained that but didnt want my post to be 1000 words.

Chris has come t know me well and we are almost always on the same page. I knew just what he meant.

So we are loving our tiny pool. You hear things to justify a large pool like "nobody has ever wished they got a smaller pool"

Well, we love being able to swim in any weather and for small $$$ in natural gas. Love the quick heat up time too.
Air was chilly last night but still enjoyed a swim

We love our tiny pool too and the ability to heat it relatively easily, although our heating bill will be a surprise [emoji15] Love that the kids can swim whenever they want. Can give it a thorough brush in 10-15 mins. Plus we still have some yard left, granted not much as we didn’t have much to start with. A lot to be said for small pools.

Loves me some Chris and Liz

My Heater Reader controller has a place to input fuel source, btus's and cost per cubic meter of fuel. I get a close idea in real time what to expect on my gas bill.

That is very cool. If I knew I may well turn the heat pump off! Kids better enjoy it before the next electricity bill comes [emoji23]

Weather pending, I have the concrete ordered and a crew lined up for Saturday.

32mpa with air and fiber mesh, tinted to the following color.

Wish me luck on weather.

Much :sun: dancing for you! But that pic does not really show a "color". It looks concrete color. Where is the "black onyx"?

You need a slap. lol. if I stil had the samples I would take a pic beside naked concrete. This is darker.
Black would be a little hard on the feet, even in igloo country.

 

[kimkats]

LOL you can show me the difference when it is all installed and cured!

 

[uxbridgechris]

The way the pigment works is, it comes in bags. You can mix 1, 2 or 3 bags per cubic meter. All yielding a different level of tint. I just wanted a light grey so I am doing a 1 bag per cubic meter mix. 3 bags per meter is much darker and closer to black.

I think this colour is going to look great and make the colour of your water really pop.

 

[kimkats]

Got it now!!! The "black onyx" refers to the color of the dye used! You can pick how MUCH of it to use to alter the saturation level. Yeah sometimes it takes a while to sink in

Kim hug: to Chris for helping me understand again!)

my house is a red brick with some grey in it. The front landscaping I did with pavers and natural stone is a similar grey. Trying my best to tie it all in and thank you.

I only know this stuff because I asked the same questions at one time.

 

[uxbridgechris]

Weather was perfect, overcast. The concrete crew was here at 7:30am, concrete truck @8am. Guys were cleaned up and gone by 1pm.
Now the sun is out. Saw cut tomorrow then time for landscaping.

and ya, the first pic really shows that we didnt go cheap on concrete.

Time lapse coming.
