Okay thank you guys I really needed to hear that. My only question remaining, is if I need a permit to dig it up or if in good to go dig a giant home in my backyard? I'm fortunate enough to have 2 acres and no hoa so I can get rid of the fill. Thanks again guys, and I'll contact you in the...

Thanks for the replies. I would rather use a pool builder, but haven't found one up to the task yet without a ridiculous price tag. I guess what I really need to know is whether I should be getting some plans drawn up and permitted or if you guys think step one would be to dig out the old...

Hey guys, sorry been busy through the holidays. I've met with 2 more builders and am awaiting designs,and I have 1 more coming this week. That would be 6 total and from what I can gather I need to excavate the shell and determine if it's salvageable. If it is then that's great, but since I'm...

Thanks for the replies guys. Bdavis-Thank you for the informative post, I was hoping that I would be able to fix the problem by using 3/4" stone so am a little bummed to hear that it won't work. This isn't a task that I necessarily wanted to undertake, but I do want a pool for my family, so if...

Hi, I was just wondering if you were successful in building your list of subs for your pool? I would be very interested as I am probably going to be going the owner/builder route as well. I know that you already had some of your subs picked out, and would love to get their names and how happy...

Hi all, I've been visiting this site for several months and have found a wealth of knowledge that you guys possess. I just moved to Tucson six months ago and would like to have a pool in for the next swim season. I've met with 3 pool companies and have 2 more scheduled. These guys don't seem to...
