I rented a backhoe for 300 , plumbing cost under 100 , electrical is under way I only have to dig the trench I have the wire already and we got the pool for 1500 the dirt leftover will fill some areas but plenty will be left over for the neighbors if they want some , it took me one month in weekends so about 6 actual days to complete my install , I am a DIY type of guy so I even put Polystyrene on the floor and wall before the liner for some cushion and for all the work and cost it was a very satisfying job with a great finish , good luck with the install and post pictures when you can !
