I currently have a 24' AG that I plan to sink and build a deck around. For all the work (and $$$ for composite decking) involved, I have been looking at the DIY inground kits advertised on the internet. I am handy, have built my own addition to my house, and believe I have a good grasp on what it would take to build a simple 16x32 vinyl IG pool.
I have contact with a GREAT excavator and concrete guy from doing my addition. I passed the electrical and plumbing testing for my county and installed all of the electric and plumbing in the addition as well.
Can anyone offer advice or experience with building their own IG pool? I saw a post from someone in Afghanistan about finishing theirs but cannot find the post now. I also saw mention from someone else (Sean or Carl maybe?) that they might try it for their next pool.
After reading all of the complaints about PBs and all of the stress they cause people, I'm inclined to just DIY the project if I do it.
Am I crazy or is this do-able for someone with good building skills? (I understand it's not a house, but from what I've seen it doesn't look too bad~especially for vinyl)
