Hey all,
I figured I should post something instead of always lurking lol. I have learned a lot from this site and hope to gain more knowledge for our first pool build and the art of taking care of this thing!
We have tried many times to find the right company that meets expectations and budget and decided maybe the only way to acheive that is to do it ourselves, well not entirely ourselves but get bids for each phase and hire each trade.
So we are building a 34’x18’ freeform pool with a 7’ Baja shelf 3 1/2’ to 7’ deep end pool, with a 18’ raised spa. The back wall will be raised 24” high to allow 3 sheer descents. Pool is 110 lineal feet 562sq ft and spa is 60sq ft.
We are just in shock that it is all actually starting and we will have our own pool to hang out in very soon. Excavating actually starts tomorrow!
Here’s the plans and I will add more as this develops.
Also I picked up the pool equipment all Pentair; IntelliFlo pump 011056 for pool/spa, whisperflo 011515 for sheer descents, MasterTemp 400k, 420 sq ft clean and clear, Easy Touch 8SC-IC40 pool/spa combo with screen logic, 3 pool globrites, 1 spa globrite, dolphin nautilus robot cleaner, and some transformers.
Well here is the design.

When we first got Jolly Mon at 10 weeks we took him to a local "dog lake". We left him by the towel with a couple of friends so we could take a dip in the water. Heard laughter from the shore and turned around to see Jolly heading to us swimming like he was born to do it. So yeah you do have a "rare" breed for sure!
