I have not used them but my friend did and was happy with the remodel. CDC pools, they were the best price and did a good job

That is what happened to me, i got quotes from multiple builders and it was too high. I decided on OB and realized after the fact i didn’t save much money on the pool. Now on the landscape and hardscape part i saved a lot. If i was doing it again i would ask a pool builder to do the pool part...

I just finished OB here in Phoenix and i can tell you i will never do it again. It took a very long time and when you have issues with subs (and you will have) you have no way of fixing them without paying extra. Per example my excavator forgot to dig for my lights and rebar came and did rebar...

My installer put a sand bed under the grass and filled it up with some green granules not sand. then nailed it down

This is the one i got https://www.purchasegreen.com/shop/artificial-lawn-grass/artificial-lawn-az-platinum-olive.html So far i love the color, the materials are great too.

Finally, it is done

The Pergola is Alumawood installed by a local dealer. I do not recommend it, i was having issues with the local dealer and called corporate. I was not able to get help or even a response from them

My interior, i am very happy with. Pebble sheen Aqua blue with Shells and glass beads added

Sorry for the lack if updates. But it has been a very busy winter with yard work and a baby. I can tell you it has been the most stressful thing i have even done to do my pool and backyard. I ran into great people to work with and ran into people that cost me lot of money in damage and huge...

I restarted the backyard work a week ago.

This was done few weeks i stopped to do research on companies to finish it off. Possibly restarting next week.

I figured it out. The plumber rough plumb it first. Then after shotcrete is done the coping people will elbow it under the coping. Then start up crew will install the aerator.

The plumber did rough plumbed it all the way to the spot in needs to be at. Shotcrate created a groove for it. Now, who does the finishing work on it? e.g. running it in the groove? what do they attached at the end to spray?

I am doing owner builder. Which sub would be doing the aerators?

Anybody knows who would be setting up the aerators before coping? or they happen during the coping?

I am exactly where you are now. The many companies i talked to for the finishing work either was asking too much or they can’t do part of the job.

Shotcrete yet to be scheduled. Lot of learning to do, I just learned yesterday that steel has to be 5 inches away from the Venturi skimmer return. A little hiccup happened, excavator forgot the light niches and steel rebar'ed over them. it is being fixed now, Electrical pick it up. The interior...

It is coming together

For who doesn't know, i used a service to get design, engineering, permitting and contacts to subs. I believe now a General contractor would have done this cheaper than what i am getting it for. If you know a general contractor you trust run your plans by them first before you start the process...

I went to 3 pool builders in Phoenix. California pools, Shasta pools and Tribal waters. They all gave me close numbers little over 100k for the whole project. After putting all the numbers and bids in i am little over 100k just like they quoted me. I am speaking of my experience in the Phoenix...

Excavating went smooth, luckily no rocks

After getting all the bids and adding all the numbers i don't think the savings are significant comparing to what i got from some pool builders. I think the builders get discounts from subs. Per example my equipments are almost 15K, Pool builder would have gotten contractor discount which i...
