The portland-sand mix 5:1 probably is a decent approach. If I could do it all over again, I would have purchased the pool-krete pool mix. Overall my custom blend turned out decent, but it didnt finish as smooth as i would hope. It looks great, but still has rough/uneven patches. I feel like i...

I’ve done a horrible job keeping up with the thread here in the home stretch. Thankfully, I have done a decent job still taking photos. Pool is up and running, water is crystal clear, and everyone has been loving it!!!! So happy with the outcome and seeing the kids and their friends already...

More progress - got the deck around the pool laid. Made a mess of what we had filled, so cleaning and pumping that out to start fresh. Overall happy with the outcome but a little disappointed in the coping. Very rough with many pockets. Tempted to have them epoxy patch it and paint just the...

It’s been a whirlwind of a few weeks! A few updates: -Pool Warehouse was awesome - replaced the liner very quickly, got it in and it was correct. -liner in, currently vacuuming and filling -finished excavating the patio area -finished plumbing and pressure tested ok -roughed in equipment pad...

Got the pool kit from Pool Warehouse as well. Initial response on their end was great, very quick to request pictures and jump on it. Very happy with the initial response, hopefully it's smooth with the actual supplier of the liner. You are spot on, after the initial disappointment, I quickly...

Talk about a total bummer today. Been making slow progress, and was really excited for todays step of putting in the liner. Total disappointment when I see that they made the liner incorrectly. It seems to me they made it for the stairs to be on the opposite corner ☹️. The seam for the 6”...

So my OCD is really kicking in with the pool base. I’m a bit disappointed in how it dried. It wasn’t as smooth as when I originally laid it(maybe it settled?). It’s not really noticeable to the eye, but when you run a level over it there are spots the are about 1/8” high or low. I’m hoping...

Haha, thanks!! Yeah - a pool with water in it would have been nice! Lol. As far as the floor is concerned, I don’t think there is any amount of money you could pay me to do it again… Well…. I’m sure there is SOME amount of money 😂

Thanks! From initial start of excavation to bond beam was just over a month. From excavation completion to bond beam was just about a week. The excavation took a while - weather was absolutely horrendous, and continues to be still.

Nope, not too soon at all! That would have also been thrown in. lol

oh, and it looks in the pictures like the ramp has “seams” a rest assured it is nice and flight. It’s just odd that in areas it’s dried differently.

Boy, today was almost a soul crusher. Had one more day with the mixer, and the bond beam was getting poured. On top of that, it was a 100 degree heat index! Multiple times I wanted to throw in the towel, it was the most miserable day of work ever - hands down. Thankfully a friend of mine helped...
