New build in NE

[SSharp]

Hubby and I are a month in to our DIY build, and so far, so good. Will finish plumbing in the next coming days and be laying the pool base soon. It's been a fun process so far (and I am very thankful we work so well together).??. I figured it was time to post a few pics. This forum has been solid gold!!

Plumbing and pressure check done! Electric being done today, inspection hopefully tomorrow, 60 ton of backfill being delivered on Friday.? Moving along!

Moving right along. Everything looks very neat and precise. I like that in a builder.

That builder happens to be my detail oriented husband, who happens to be an engineer.?. He has done a spectacular job!

We will get our vermiculite base done today! Looking like a pool!?

Looks great! did you do the vermiculite yourself? How long did it take?

 

[SSharp]

We did it all ourselves. Took 2 of us about 20 hours. So glad it's done!

Filling! Will add shock to bring FC up later. We are filling from our well (with a point of entry filter that may or may not be helping), so the green tinge is probably iron. Will probably bring in city water to fill the rest up after we acheive our foot of depth in our shallow end. We also have a slightly floating hopper liner due to getting 3 inches of rain in the last 24 hours (was bone dry the entire time before ?). As the fill level rises, that is going down. Couldn't be happier with how the liner is fitting. More heavy rain in the forecast tonight.

Realized I hadn't posted the final result of our diy build. 9 weeks of a LOT of work, but we are absolutely thrilled with the results. Thank you, TFP for the help along the way!
