So, you think the Portland will be ok to fill in any low spots? Maybe 1/4” deep, small spots no bigger than a basketball.

Started on my pool floor and had a few guys to help. Made the mistake of not having enough Pool Krete. Called for 40 bags, so I ordered 50, but still ran short somehow. 🙄 I ended up grabbing some Portland cement and mason sand to finish up (see area of Portland in photo). 1.) I know the damage...

Yeah, CMI is the only place I could find but WOW, that's expensive! I asked about the single wire, as that is all code calls for. But my inspector is insistent on having the grid as well.

Starting to get ready to bond everything and my inspector stated I needed the 3' wide copper mesh grid all the way around my pool. I'm using a Paver Deck, so I'm assuming this just lays between the sand and pavers? Does anyone know where you can buy this stuff?! My neighbor (same inspector) used...

I planned on doing at least 2” of pool base/ vermiculite over the whole bottom too. The concrete is a great idea to hold shape until I can get to the vermiculite. Doing this weekend and weekdays only, so I can’t move as fast as I’d like. :/

The bottom is already dug. Has a 1’2” drop by 1’6” width cove. It’s pretty messy now, not dug well. I’m far out from that, but that’s what keeping my up at night now. Hoping I can do it with gravel, then vermiculite over it.

Here’s some reference photos if anyone ever needs them. Hopefully I got it all right. Thanks again for the help!
