Finally started build today

[ncpool]

After hours and hours of research, bids, more research, etc...we finally started our build today. Any feedback welcome. Thanks again for everyone's help getting to this point.

The pool is 16x32. 3'4" to 8' diving pool. Construction is concrete block walls with vinyl liner.

Hey CONGRATS!!!!

cool! Did they use any rebar in those footings?

 

[ncpool]

No rebar was used.

Nice - are you going to concrete fill the blocks?

I am undertaking a similar project(plunge pool), but will be fully tiling it.

Keep up the photos!!

Yes, the concrete blocks will be filled with more concrete. We are on hold for a bit due to rain.

Looking good! Are you going to build the steps as well, or use something pre-fab?

 

[ncpool]

The steps will be formed from concrete. I assume they'll be poured when they fill the walls.

PB had the 2" pvc dropped off today.

Build is coming along. If you have time, please also review my post specifically related to the plumbing the "Pumping Station" forum.

looks great!

a hint:

when you want someone to look at a specific post, use the URL button.

steps:
1. highlight the words that will serve as the link (ie. my post)
2. press URL button which will surround your words with the url tags
3. insert an equal sign = at the end of the first url (ie. url becomes url=)
4. paste the fully qualified link immediately after the = sign (ie. url=http ... )

Thanks for the suggestion, added the link to the post.

 

[susa]

heh.... not quite, had you followed my small tutorial, the link would have been invisible and clickable from your words .... my post.....

 

[ncpool]

Fixed. Thanks again.

Looks great!! I really like the steps!!

 

[Heckpools]

please keep updated with pics. How do they hang the liner??

 

[ncpool]

It is a little hard to see, but if you look directly below the coping brick you will see a white strip. That is an aluminum track type of material, which i assume the liner will ultimately plug into.

Hey how has this pool progressed. Any finish pics?
