18'x52" Coleman build

[jeremy_78]

Started this build a few weeks ago. Dug into the hill as not to disturb soil. Once everything was level, tamped ground. Then did an outer rim of 2.5" pavers. Filled centre with sand. Wet, then tamped every .5" or so. Laid down a used hockey rink tarp and popped pool on top. Pool is only half filled (waiting on parts).

I will update as I progress!

Well done!!! Looks like you did a great job with the pool site!

Please tell me you are adding chlorine to the water each day and stirring it up to mix it in!

I can't reach it yet! My FIL advised me to do the same... The water has been in since Thursday, rest in Monday and pump will be hooked up.

Am I going to be in trouble?

Put a ladder or something outside the pool where you can reach in to move the water around or you are going to have algae starting up. You may be close to it starting already. It is MUCH easier to keep it from happening than fixing it WHEN it does happen.

Thank you, I will grab some bleach on my way home today from work.

You can use a broom to help mix it up. The bristles do a fine job of moving the water.

It's still coming along. I added chlorine and stabilizer. I have added about 500 grams of stabilizer so far. Pumps running great. Decks almost done. New ladder should be shipped today. Hopefully be in "usable" state end of next week.
