Hello All-myvegaspool is now mysarasotapool we have moved into a house here in Sarasota Florida that came with an old inground pool. The pool is in good enough shape but the equipment is hanging on by a thread. We want to do all new equipment and move the equipment pad to behind our house. Does...

I am in the City of Las Vegas and installed the Techko S187D Safe Pool Alarm..got it off Amazon. Works great and passed inspection no problems!

I know there is a reason all of the things end up in a building code but I thought it interesting that the inspector had no idea as to why this was in the code! I guess the people that do inspections don't have to know the "why" of code they just have to inspect to see if something is there or...

So we finally got to our pre-plaster final inspection and we failed because the City of Las Vegas requires a "service" GFCI receptacle that is more than 10' but less than 20' from the edge of the pool?????? Our house is 25' away and there is a GFCI plug there! This requirement is very specific...

I will look into that Thanks!!!!

Mostly boring update...still waiting on the shotcrete to cure..1 more week to go then we can plaster.. So we are moving on to other work like a ton of landscaping, getting the wall and gate back up and shopping for outdoor furniture..awesome to shop for off season great pricing may wait for...

Decking is now done! Concrete Sub fixed most of his boo boos and I can live with the rest...nothing is perfect..just want him out of my hair! Now just have to wait for shotcrete to cure (2 more weeks) and get the wall and gate back up (might take awhile so far everyone is telling me 4-6 weeks!)

Just talked to the Boss and we now seem to be on the same page...some things already fixed and promises to fix everything else...YAY

Learned a handy trick this morning...my concrete Sub is a ghost and impossible to get a hold of.... His guys show up this morning (unannounced) to work. I tell them to call the boss so I can talk and Voila!! he magically is on the phone!! Hoping I can get my issues resolved....

Yeah most of my "issues" are small things here and there...mucked up some of our tile that they will be fixing/replacing (or else!) One of the edges is not quite straight so I will be having it out with this Sub...good times!

Concrete decking done today...Not the best, Not the worst job......On to Landscaping, wall rebuilding, new gate while we wait for the shotcrete to cure...

A long long time ago in a galaxy far away we had a house with a pool and I had a pool service and also kept an eye on the chemicals etc. myself... Definitely found that the pool service was "basic" and I had to dial in everything to just where we wanted it to be.. Will be doing this again with...

Kim- I started to try and do this build in March (and posted about it here) and what happened was EVERYONE else in Las Vegas decided to build this year so the subs just couldn't fit me in so we put off the build to now..Plus way better prices and so far the Subs have been itching to get on site...

Not much happening while we wait for the Shotcrete to cure.... The forms for the concrete deck are in and we are waiting on the pour for that (hopefully this week!) Exciting part is installation of our tile...IE BLING!!! Spent some extra $$$ go get shiny glass tile for the waterline and the...

Pool is 16X36....I am a "big" Dude 6'4"+ so I wanted a deep end I could jump in and not bottom out so we did the pool 4 feet deep to 8 feet deep!!

Welcome to my pool build...So after much planning, setbacks, more setbacks, tears (and many beers!) we have started along on our pool build. A shout out to all of the Awesome! people here that have helped me along the way: QingGuy, Big Will, Daddymack, SPL, bdavis466, Imaz1218, Beachhead and...
