Re: Pool Build - California Dreaming
Sorry about the delay in posting the following pictures of the plumbing which was completed Saturday. The plumber had calculated 2 days work with 4 guys; but it ended up at 3 1/2 days. All in all I was very pleased by the job and the cost.
I was quite foolish in my initial budgeting to think I could complete all plumbing and electrical for less than $5K (without the cost equipment) considering the sheer amount of returns, water features, fiber optic and electrical conduit, and gas and main electrical runs of over 250 ft each. Regardless of my underestimation, I got an excellent deal with labor at only $2K and material at around $4K. I estimate another $1K to $2K for electrical wire runs, breaker panel setup and equipment installation and programming.
I rewarded the plumbing crew at the end of the phase with some grilled food and tequila shots. I hope you enjoy the pics and seeing the pool take shape. Tomorrow is the pregunite inspection, wish me luck.
Lastly, if anyone here is knowledgeable of pool eletrical wiring I would love an opportunity to chat. Thanks.
