This has been our journey so far - Design start date: 8/10/2021 Permits/engineering: 9/27/2021 Construction start date: 12/27/2021 Excavation: 1/4/2022 Gunite: 1/20/2022 Coping: 1/26/2022 Tile: 2/1/2022 We’re hoping on wrapping up by 2/25 We’re in Southern California (Woodland Hills)

here are the results from my test strip. I actually have a pool person come weekly to maintain the chemicals. I guess I should just talk to him?

Hello! I just wanted to share my 13' 11" x 8' 2" x 39.5" Bestway Power Steel Oval Frame set up. Does anyone have any suggestions on building a deck or improving this set up in any way? My main goal is to hide the sides of the pool. Is there a cost effective way to do this? Also, has anyone had...
