Ok, I had debated even starting a thread for fear something would go terribly wrong, but the lack of info on these pools pushed me to it. This started around April 2017, bought the pool & had the hole dug. Had a lot of other stuff going on, so that was pretty much all we got done last year. Got a late start this year, but it’s getting done. Got the same guy that dug the hole out to come level for us. I think the hole is about 2.5 feet. Also had him dig the trench for the electric, even though I’m not positive it’s going to get done this year. We live in a small town that has no permits or requirements, etc, but I wanted it done simply for safety, etc. I have already bought everything to do the electric, it’s just not something I’m comfortable with. Was planning to use 16x8x4 inch pavers to go under each leg, but the night before we started the install, I came across a post here where someone was explaining the reasoning for using pressure treated wood. So the next day, I had my brother go get us a bunch of pressure treated 12x2’s. This is where we’re at now. We need to get all the wood buried down to match the 1/2 inch foam we put down. Then we can start filling. We had about 3 inches in from the rain over the past week, but there were too many wrinkles, so we pumped it out yesterday so we can smooth them today. I was planning to get the deck done about two weeks after the pool is filled, but due to some unexpected dental work, that may have to wait. (Playing with my dog, her tail smacked me right in my two front teeth & killed them, no joke) Here are the pics we have so far. Forgive me, I didn’t do a great job of capturing the progress.
