Iowa Vinyl Pool

[Snoobug]

A little slow! I am using my PB, and like most, have terrible timing, over load themselves, and schedule's are always changing. The new pavers and some changes were all agreed to in the fall as part of the original project so I am at the mercy of a PB still haha. Pool is running and we are using it, so the delay is not that terrible all things considered.

Confirmed they would be here Friday morning to start, so we got that going for us. They have a few punch list items to work on as well, so I expect it would be about a week for them to get it all wrapped up.

It will be so great when it's all done! And yes, being able to swim makes it much better. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Another day of landscaping stuff... Friday I will be sad as they leave and we have to wait for the rest of the pavers. The first swim will all be worth it...

Electrician is here! Yay! Also our blacktop is pretty dinged up... just got on the company's list for the end of summer for repairs.

Probably hard to tell from the pic but they have started laying the gravel chipping between the house and pool.

Conduit for electrical.

I do love some good conduit going in for all that juice! Looking good.

Got the gravel chips compacted.

 

[Snoobug]

The retaining wall is done.

 

[Snoobug]

Actually, they need 1 more piece for the retaining wall. One was broken but I think it looks great so far!

 

[Snoobug]

Watering & more compacting. Another truck of gravel chips arrived...

Landscaper said as soon as the pavers arrive, he'll be back...

 

[Snoobug]

Talked to PB, they might pour the vermiculite floor next week!

Sooooooooooooo close……



And I must say Snoo, while many folks have immersed themselves in all things TFP, you have at the very least matched them, and even possibly even exceeded them. You are long your own pro before the first drop ever goes in. Sure there is some kinks to work out doing it all for real, but they are silly little details that we can bang out no problemo as they arise.

You also feed us with gratuitous pics out the wazoo.

Well. Done. All. Around.

I've really enjoyed watching your build! You are SO close!!

 

[Snoobug]

More gravel chips & compacting...

I can feel the BRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTT from here !!!!

 

[Snoobug]

Thanks @Newdude ! Taking pics and surfing the forum is helping. After reading a bunch of threads about pool care, how to get rid of algae, and iron issues I feel confident that I can follow TFP methods.

Anyone have recommendations for freezers for a garage? Looking for side by side doors so not a chest freezer.
