Breathtaking. Congratulations especially given the hard work. The steps look fantastic! Best wishes to your whole family!

I think that by "beaded steps" he means covered with vinyl liner, and held in place by a bead (tab) on the back side of each step (I think in the corner where each tread meets the next riser going up), which fits into a bead receiver incorporated into the step support system behind it. I can't...

Hey! Check this out... http://www.poolsbycardinal.com/sidemount-coping-vt.php http://www.poolsbycardinal.com/topmount-coping-hzgz.php

I've only recently heard about this myself. A couple people told me that with full width stairs and corner stairs this isn't necessary, but I confess that I don't fully understand the concept. Is this on every step, or just the top? Wouldn't the normal coping at the top suffice? I can see...

Hey everyone! I am trying to lay out my pool design, and wanted some input from the experts here on the subject of pool element locations (and count). I especially appreciate thoughts from any who have experience with similar configurations to verify (or correct) my design. Please fire...

Excellent work, and A+ for the effort! There's nothing like the pleasure you get AFTER you work your rear off on a project, and you can enjoy the fact that you did it. You and your family will be able to look back on a great experience - and the mishaps add to the memory as well (at least...

Dave, Thanks for the link and input. Fantastic job on your pool! Do you have a thought on comparing the cinder-block construction to the typical panels? I have thought about that too, but don't know about cost and labor. Did it complicate the penetrations and connections for skimmers and...

bobby, Our drive has some tight bottle-necks with trees and culvert pipes, so I don't think we can get all the way through. I spoke to a pumper who said he has a machine that can push 1000 feet; but at a steep cost. Still doing some creative thinking on this. new question: how thick is a...

I hadn't thought about that. Is there a limitation on the distance? Do you have any familiarity with the cost? My distance would be 1000 feet.

Thanks! I appreciate the comments (and any more to come...) Tatertot, (our nick-name for our daughter Kate...) Liner availability: Thanks for the reassurance. Liner hanging: I'll work hard to get it hung and filled this year if at all possible then. Thanks! question: does the vermiculite...

Everyone, I'd love some useful feedback on the crazy endeavor I am considering. Trying to search and read other posts too, so sorry if this is annoying to ask: I'm between Indianapolis and Cincinnati (closer to Cincinnati) and am looking to build a large, simple rectangle (ideally). Here are...

Fantastic work! I am a Hoosier (S.E. Indiana) also, and am planning a similar design (including the steps). I appreciate your posts, and am really looking forward to your outcome. How will the liner work with the steps (I assume over the top)? My wife and I have 7 kids itching to dive...
