Awesome...AWESOME....forum!



We are finally in the last stage of the pool install as we speak. We chose a free forum fiberglass insert with extra decking.

I will build a post with pictures/data and of course delays. Everyone in West Texas can thank me for the rain we have received in the past month.

I found the delivery guys taking a break; so I took advantage of the opportunity and snap a quick pic. The pool sitting inside ours along with the small spa went just a few houses down from ours.

















RAIN.....RAIN.......RAIN.....

I had to see what the lights would look like; so I ran temporary power over and test fired the lights :)




Electrician/Deck Coating/equipment install should start in the morning.

LOL believe me I do have my fast cars already. My Mustang (red convertible) is my daily driver. The Corvette (super sonic blue convertible) is the trip and sunny day car! Of course we also have a truck! Big blue has over 200000 miles in him and he is still going strong! The paint is the only area showing the time/age.

Right now I am saving up for a fancy in ground pool! One day TFP will be able to watch my build. It will be a while but.............

Wow...you sure you're not in Georgia with all that red dirt?

What do you know about that EcoSmart system? Do a quick search here on TFP for reviews/input as they are not considered a good way to care for your water as they don't kill virii or bacteria fast enough to prevent transmission, and the copper is NOT a good thing to add to any pool but especially not fiberglass pools. Copper turns blond hair green and can cause metal stains on your pool.

Are you against SWG for any reason? Your cement deck and fiberglass pool are ideal for a SWG.
 
Small update : )






Texture & Xcel decking complete






















Installed Sprinkler system and Sod





















95% of the Decor completed....just waiting on smooth river rock to fill planters so that the large pots can be set.






















AND....waaalaaaa! ( dont pay attention to the rope light......it will be attached to the inside out the planters.....
