thank you... :mrgreen: The liner is from Fort Wayne pools, they sell under Sterling also. Here is a link to the site, the one in the pool is the Hamilton Cobblestone http://sterling.surfthepool.com/vinyl-liners/davinci-core-liners/

Man pool has been done for a while and we were swiming, we lack a part of the fence and the gates, but we are almost done. and we also bought some sealer which we need to put on also. We've done the fence ourselves, after work so it progressed slow, and we needed to buy a few more fence pieces...

Almost done, just need to install fence..

Man I haven't posted in a while, I have pictures to post of the project along the way. They are pretty close to being done, we have been swimming for a while now. I plan on giving some tips based on my experience with this project. I LOVE the pool and the layout and the colors, it just came...

Thanks, I am hoping it does turn out nice, all is good so far. Here is the latest picture: Like I said before they put the pool too far from the house but they are going to cover the added paver cost, which I am fine with. Broke some of my driveway coming in today also, said they will fix it...

They started, here is to hoping all goes well.. Am nervous of course, they already screwed up and put pool too far away from house (compared to what I wanted). PB said he would cover the cost of extra pavers because he didnt want to start dig over :shock:

Ok so we decided on a contractor for the pool and a different contractor for the pavers and wall. Signed a contract and if the liner comes in they will start on the 9th. I will post some before, during and after pictures here. Will also update with some things we did and notes. Here is to...

Not sure I want to contact the insurance company, just open a can of worms.. Blah

thanks Wannabe, Two of the bids came in and were split up, the HIGH bid was the one that wasnt, and it is REALLY suspect anyway. I was thinking the same thing, that they were just subbing the job and taking a cut and it would benifit me to do that footwork myself. is probably what we will do...

Thanks exbcmc, something else to think about.. lol We got 3 bids, we estimated the cost at around 75K and were trying to be high but got back bids in the 80's and one int eh 90's. Talking about what we will do with family so well see. :?

does anyone have any suggestions/input on the bid process and the contract negotiation process? Life has taught me to be cautious and I am not looking to just accept the low bid, I just want the job done right at a fair price. What might I need to look out for? Any specific questions I...

We live in the south, and I am nervous about water table, I looked at the local codes and the only limit we have is we have to have a 5 foot fence to keep out children and pets. this is how the section/law is written: "Swimming pools and wading pools with a depth of one foot or more in any...

I have loved reading the post on this forum, has helped me a lot in our planning and thoughts of what we want for our back yard pool and deck. With that said I thought I would post on here and follow up as we went along so we could get input. Please as you know any input can help. I know this...
