[Cop1406]

Stairs are cut in, liner is set. Hopefully water truck will come Monday as I don't want to burn my well pump up filling this monster.

How many gallons do you think it will hold?

Make sure to add a bit of chlorine to the water and brush it around to keep it "clean".

Calculates out to be about 13000 gallons. Already put a bit of chlorine in it and netted out all the bugs.

Well my friends, we have a pool. Still topping it off and will fire up the filter tomorrow. Three tankers full of water and it wasn't quite enough.

SO pretty and clear! I bet it IS cold! LOL heard you talking about swimming............nope and adult word NO! LOL

How are you filling in the sides of the pool? With what?

Is the liner behaving by the stairs? No leaks??

When I had a liner installed in my last pool the installer used buckets and filled them with water and put them around the perimeter. I think I'll try that because I'm not gonna be able to use a vacuum because of the stairs. I think it will be good for the liner to sit in the sun for a few days and maybe that will release some of the wrinkles.

Sure you can use a vac with thermoplastic steps.

I back-filled with the dirt that I dug out. I will let it settle all winter and then pour concrete next spring. Doesn't appear to be any leaks anywhere.

Pool is full, filter is running, all is good.

Love the plan.........SO happy everything is working!!! SWEET!

When you pour the new concrete will you try to make it contrast with the old or try to match it? I like the idea of contrast to dress it up.

Bet you thought I wouldn't do it. Stayed in for about 20 minutes and then it took me an hour to thaw out. Anyway, I can say I swam in my pool this year.

What a journey for sure! One that is well worth it!! You will LOVE having a pool to jump into while working on the outside finishing up in the Spring!

I can't wait to see what the finished project looks like!

Covered until next May.

That is a tight looking cover there! Nice job! I get it was a bear to get on. Will you slow it off during the winter? Do you have a problem with critters walking on it poking holes in it?

Backyard has an eight foot fence. Had to put it up to keep the deer out of the pool. Pulled two out of the last pool before I built the fence. It has a drain panel running the length in the center. I just keep my skimmer line open.
