I was just about to buy the liquidator , and then started looking at injection pumps and automation . I did my own electrical service and controller. like to build things.... hand dug and built my koi pond also . Im very far North East Houston
I have been on the BBB program and the poolforum for a few years but I found TFP has more expertise
lots of hobbies old GTO's, KOI Fish , Beer Wine making , Lot of wood working . My last project I made a old fashion ice box , and installed refrigerator parts in it. to make it a working cooler to ferment beer
ohh yeah. my wife and i just enclosed our 1 acre with 700 ft wrought iron fence, new project every week
Welcome to TFP Vince! That's a spectacular pool and pond and your wood working skills are all that! 
Very impressive! You are one hands on dude, and I really like...well everything you showed, very nice man! How did you decide on no tile line? Curious, and I like "different" or unusual choices sometimes. Cool stuff.
Doing pool building research, I found pebble tech and diamond brite plaster can be used above/outside of waterline . reg. plaster cannot . My wife hates the white calcium line on the tile look . So no tile , she still scrubs the waterline faithfully she scrubs the moss rock also . which is a soft stone she is wearing it down ... she goes through stainless wire brushes every couple months
I recommend this web site to anyone wanting to build your own , I studied for 1 year, paid the extra fee membership Priv. wealth of information http://www.howibuiltmyownpool.com/
It showed me the cantilever edge and no tile line . I had to show my decking guy the cantilever forms and where to buy them he wasn't familiar with it.. Styrofoam forms to extend the ledge out over pool
Tanning ledge , 2 umbrella holders , 2 skimmers , 4 bottom drains , 6 tons mass rock ,2 1/2" return lines , 2 led color lights , 2 spray nozzles ,overflow, autofill. I drew the plans. and designed the rock inserts . the waterfall moss rock is 8" below the waterline the subs, didnt want to do it that way . we landscaped it, 600sqft cool decking I have 22k in it . i did the electric , bought used DE filter off craigslist , I bought all the other parts wholesale through a freind...Learned it all on that website
