Yep, I feel the same way about DIY projects. I tend to take my time and cover little details mostly b/c I'm not sure if I'm doing things right or not and just trying to cover all the bases. I like DIY projects but don't think I could ever do them for a living because it takes me so long and I...

I had a 20mil before and replaced with 20mil. I read the 27-30mil is much heavier, harder to work with, and doesn't stretch as well. There re are some good videos at poolwarehouse.com. They have install videos for measuring, liner install, and faceplate and step gasket installation. I didnt...

How deep you think drains should be? I was thinking about 16-18". I was also considering sawing a small 12-18" section of sidewalk walkway so I can extend the drains beneath it and then laying the solid piece of concrete decking back over the top. Is that a bad idea?

My pool was relatively new...only about 7 years old. I didn't hire the original contractor who build the pool since I bought the house. I was quoted $3,000 for a liner by one place not including labor. I bought liner from a HydraPools vendor for about 1,100 and that included some of the...

Well yes and no...not immediately, but I had a small leak in water hose and when the water would pool up near the sidewalk after about 30 minutes I noticed it pouring out from under the steps. There was even a small tunnel where water was coming up next to the steps. This was surface water...

Discarded and was then rewarded by a $150 water bill.

The pipe sticking up is to septic treatment system. One of the pipes you put cholorine tablets in and the "clean" water drains underground and comes out at bottom of the hill. I was leaning towards French drains and add sump if that doesn't take care of it I think you are right that it's...

Replacing your own pool liner is possible. I hope this serves as an inspiration to someone considering it or at least shows you what's involved so you can decide if you want to go down that path. This is not a step-by-step guide. There are plenty of resources and monitized videos for that...

The previous owner installed a single layer of stones to edge the decking. Water seems to pool here as they are almost in a 2-3" trench on edge of pool deck. Soil layer is about flush with bottome of concrete due to this. i have often though this might be the cause. The edging rocks almost...

I have read almost every floating liner post there is. I feel like most solutions don't apply to my situation. Under heavy rains water seems to pour in under the deck into some kind of void and then trickle over top edge of the wall between wall and liner. This is an inground pool. I drew a...
