Just wanted to thank everyone on this forum for posting their information. My husband and I have gotten a ton of ideas from your posts!
Our pool build officially starts today! We are using Platinum Poolcare out of Wheeling, Illinois. They have a reputation for building awesome pools (featured on HGTV's Million Dollar Rooms.) Hope ours turns out as great as some of their others.
Pool Specs:
45x20 Inground Rectagular Shotcrete Pool
Automatic Pool Cover with concrete cantilever cover
3'6 to 9 ft. deep
Waterfall with bench underneath and a Turbo Twister slide
Diving board with a corner step-out for getting out of the water
Tanning ledge at shallow end--big enough for two chaise lounges
Two basketball hoops, and infloor anchors for a volleyball net
6 deck sprayers and 3 in-pool LED lights
The dig starts today! As I am typing this, they are spraying out the layout in my yard. Yesterday, they removed our existing above-ground pool and did yard grading to get the heavy construction equipment in and out of our yard.
After I wrote this, the crew got a good portion of the dig done today and laid gravel on the shallow end. They put up fencing around the site and will be back tomorrow. I have a ton of pictures but I haven't had the chance to organize them yet. Once I do, I will post a link.
Take care--
