Looks like we are forecasted to get about 2" more of rain tonight and tomorrow. Thinking if I had gotten the pool up, I would have a good start filling it for free, with all this rain. My friend was going to come move the sand yesterday, but guess what? It was raining, so he didn't! I have 18 of the 24 blocks leveled. Progress is so slow!
Still raining! Was feeling depressed I've made no progress. Then I realized if I already had the pool up we couldn't use it anyway. Not sure that line of thinking is helping, ha ha.
Finally Down to two more blocks to level. But guess what? It's raining again! Apparently it is only sunny when I am at work, lol. I still have to adjust a couple of blocks. Hopefully it will dry out enough for my friend to move the sand, then we can get the liner up!
We got the pool up! We had Two nice days in a row! My back is aching, but we did it! Pics to follow soon, have to get them uploaded to Photobucket.
We finally got the pool up. My kids and I worked hard yesterday and got the sand spread out. I readjusted a couple of blocks, then I had to wait for the muscles of the operation to level and smooth out the sand, then tamped. We put the Gorilla pad down, and got the pool up this evening. Had relatives in from out of town, so had to stop and visit a bit, so I don't have any pics of it filling. Turned the water off for the night, with about 3" in it. Want to be able to make sure the uprights are good. Wanted some water in there in case it storms.. Couldn't get all the wrinkles out, didn't want to be rude to the guests. But I really wanted to get this done! Two nice days in a row really helped. Boy does my back ache!!
The muscles....
My inspectors, ha...... Edit: we did fix the legs, lol. He was still putting them up when the chickens came to see what we were doing.
Finally upright! Will trim the pad later. Calling about getting a deck built soon!

You did it! I bet you're so happy! It looks great! Get in n work those wrinkles out.
I was out there in the dark with a flashlight, haha. Went back out this morning, it looked pretty good. Worked out a few small ones, and was happy with the results. Turned the water back on, there's about 3" in it. Very happy!!
