BigJD's Pool Build by the numbers
- Thread starter BigJD
- Start date
The big stump in the middle will be ripped out along with some others. The rest I may grind. Most of them will be on the perimeter in beds so I am not too concerned with them.
PB staked out the pool area today. Construction can start in about 3 weeks! Also found out that I might need up to 100 yards of stone trucked in 
Okay folks ... spent most of the day preparing for the build. I had to take down a few fence panels and erect a temporary fence (for the dog).
The pics are:
1.) temporary fence and my classy sliding wooden door
2.) the now open fence section (took out three panels)
3.) one of the posts that got concreted in! they weren't supposed to do that ... and that monster weighed a ton!

If you smell popcorn or french fries at your house, it's just the cooking oil he uses to run the excavator (bio diesel) :lol:

Equipment failure a days of rock breaking later .... we are finally ready to get started on the pool install! PB shaped the hopper and leveled out the base today. Rain tomorrow ... more progress Thursday ...
The hydraulic rock splitter broke a feather on Monday ... had to go to Boston to get the part (3 hour delay) so they could not finish the rock removal yesterday. They finished up this AM and Paul was able to get the sump in and shape the pool. Still no walls.
Yea, and it's raining. Tomorrow supposed to rain nearly 2 inches. And Osterman is/was supposed to put in my 250 gallon LP tanks tomorrow and run my lines.
Cant catch a break.
Once the walls go up he'll call Varney Brothers and they will pour the collar. Once it dries out, they'll compact the bottom with a jumping jack and Varney will come back with a truck full of pool crete and they'll pour the floor.
