New pool build and deck Apex NC

Well you needed 4. Two hots, a neutral and a ground. For my spa and my pool sub-panels I ran a red, black, white and green. All #6 THHN. Ordered on line from witeandcabletogo.com I believe it was.
A #6 ground is overkill and a major pita to work with but eh??
1/2 the price of home centers but had to pay shipping.
Drove to morehead city to the beach and purchased my bolts for my deck. Using 5/8" 8" and 10" bolts.
Spent $483 + $40 in gas and 8 hours but saved nearly $3.00 per bolt and a total of $880 from Lowes/home depot prices.
Picked up a new to me little friend today on craigslist and bought him a stand.

Built a ring around my pool the past two days with 20 posts. Couldn't build it with one band on each side of the post due to wanting to be close to the pool. I doubled the band on the outside of the post and bolted everything together.
Went and got all my posts and wood to run my double band around the outer edge of my deck. Only was $863...
Ran out to the Lowes before dinner and picked up 23 80lb bags of quikrete. Needless to say my truck was squatting.
If the blessed rain will quit visiting everyday I could really get something done.
As I'm typing the thunder is booming and I can hear hard rain on my roof.

I only sweat through four changes of clothes today. I wish it would get hot outside
We had torrential rains last night. Spent 2.5 hours today dipping water out of my footings. Took 44.5 5 gallon buckets full of muddy water and sludge. Figures out a problem today with my layout. Got to put in 6 more footings and another girder.
Found a crayfish in one of my footings. I'm 300' to the closest creek. Don't know how he got there.
Came inside and my 4 year old daughter said I was nasty.
Had to go out in the storm last night and back wash to pool and drain out 5" of water before it overflowed. I was out there diverting water as hard as I could.
You, my sir, are an animal! Great work and perseverance! Your deck is gonna be a sweet dance floor when done!

Ran another French drain yesterday on the high side around the pool too keep some of the possible runoff from entering my area around the pool.
Today I set more posts with the help of a couple friends. Man it makes things easier when you have a little help.

Put in 3 more girders yesterday. Ran out of lumber. Got some more and hopefully can get my last toe girders run tomorrow.
Another day another 11 hours spent at the pool with my dedicated friends/helpers. Lots of girders and posts set. 20 bags of 80lb quikrete were harmed today.
