Steel started. What do I need to look for? What do I need to know here? Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Holy cow. . . I'm on page 9 of your documented build. Now I'm scared! I'm enjoying(?) the read. I guess. Sort of. Sure is pretty though!

Re: New Build in Round Rock (Austin), TX - Equipment Comments Requested The dig has begun. Pool builder going on honeymoon tomorrow. I'm happy for him . . . Oh well. I knew this when I chose him. Delays. Ceremonial ground breaking complete: Bringing in the big gun with jackhammer...

Dang. I was just going to say the same thing. Beat me to it. Oh well. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

Re: New Build in Round Rock (Austin), TX - Equipment Comments Requested Jim - I can see why you'd find the humor in that! But, I'm not willing to use the chlorinator. That's why my post leads off with "Besides the chlorinator." But, alas, I cut-n-pasted the whole list instead of removing...

Re: New Build in Round Rock (Austin), TX - Equipment Comments Requested I know I'm fairly new here (as far as actual membership date). But, I've been lurking for quite a while now. I've researched the SWCG vs. limestone on this site for some time. One thing is for sure: there really is no...

Re: New Build in Round Rock (Austin), TX Sweet. My thoughts exactly, I too think 3' is too shallow. Ha! I say the same thing. We told all our builders that we thought 5.5' would be ideal for the deep end, and they all came back with plans at 6'. "Cooler water" was one builders input...

Oh boy. Here goes! We are in the process of selecting our PB. Designs are all pretty much the same, as they were based off my SketchUp with the understanding that I'm not a pool designer, master draftsman, hydraulic engineer, etc. Those finer details are in their hands. One builder initially...

Hello all, We are in the selecting-a-PB stage of owning a pool. IOW, we don't own one yet. But, I'm figuring that getting my education by reading and re-reading all the wonderful information that y'all have shared here is a good idea. I tend to look for answers before asking questions, so...
