Hey everyone, just saying hi from Canada. I've had the bestway aboveground pool over the last couple years but had a maybe not so smart idea. I had my house for sale but couldn't find anything that really was worth the move. So I decided to take it off the market and instead of pay $30,000 in realtor/lawyer fees I'd put that towards an inground heated pool. I plan on installing it close to my house and getting a gazebo built at the back of the house over the pool so I can eventually insulate it and have a pool year round.
I am going to do what work I can and then hire help for what I can't. All electrical and gas will be done by the pros And cleared by my municipality, so don't think I am taking short cuts that way.
So here I am, I have already had the "check before you dig" people clear it so I can dig. I have a guy available to come dig once I have the pool available to start. I'm planning on a 14x28 lined pool from poolsuppliescanada.
The main project I plan on trying to tackle myself is the pool installation, which is why I will depend on the instructions and possibly this forum. I'm just thinking out loud here but the nost daunting part of that for me is the concrete part, i mean i dont want to make it not deep enough and have wrinkles, or obviously dont want it too deep, but i might be getting ahead of myself. And I know this will be a summer long project likely even into the fall.
Talk me out of it if you think this isn't smart. Keep in mind winters can hit -35C here so it would have to be well insulated.
