Exactly how close to the house are we talking? How close can the pool be to the house from a legal/code standpoint?

So the floor looks like a big slab? Does it have rebar ends sticking up through the concrete all of the way around perimeter? If so I'd say they are going to form the walls for a "poured concrete" wall rather than a "sprayed" wall. If not, I'd say they will probably erect walls for a liner...

You're already looking at $7k-$10k just for the pool kit with pumps, etc. and unless you can do a LOT of the work yourself, I doubt you'll finish the project for less than $20k, then you have to consider the costs of running the pumps, chemicals, maintenance, etc... I think Techguy gave the...

Zero entry = birds bathing, drinking & pooping in your pool :rant: I would do the tanning shelf.

Sell the old shell on Craigslist for $500 and let hauling it off be someone else's problem.

Well you may still be ok here. Technically it was staked out... the position of the bricks that remained even after the old paint had faded could be considered "Staked out". They chose to re-draw the pool without properly working from the position of those bricks, and when pointed out to the...

One way you could fix that skimmer would be to make a new plumbing run to that skimmer "on top of" the cement collar, then adjust the skimmer as needed.

http://www.insulatedpoolkits.com/ I talked to the owner a few years ago about their kits. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. We probably talked for an hour. When I really started crunching the numbers, it really wasn't going to save enough money over doing an owner builder gunite pool.

Just my opinion, I'd go bigger if you have the room to support it. $2k isn't much in the grand scheme of things when you're building a $40k pool. You will have more regrets over not going bigger, than you would if you go bigger and decide that you didn't need it.

I love your choice of water line tile! :goodjob:

Open up the phone book and look for Plastering contractors. You can also call concrete pumping places and they may be able to give you a few numbers to call.

You need to flip that drainage pipe over, the holes should be pointing down, not up.

THat is going to be beautiful when you're all done. You should put some UP-Lighting on that Cactus behind the slide, that would make a bold statement at night time.

Could be a problem with your water temp sensor as well. In december I had my Gecko board repaired by the guy out in Arizona for around the same price. Mine Also flashed the 3 dots after I first filled the tub. I found that the water temp sensor had been pulled back from the sleeve in the...

Sound like the water is going back through your ozonator and leaking out, which would also explain the tripped breaker. I once had this happen and it was due to water leaking back through the blower motor.
