Hello TFP,
I just wanted to start by saying thank you all for your contributions and expertise. I have been lurking on the site for a while and saving $ for my new pool. Wanting to stretch the money we have saved as far as possible we have opted to take the owner builder route.
Did you hear my sigh? I am still a bit apprehensive but after seeing Vudoo’s results and reading his story here https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/78346-New-DIY-Pool-in-Phoenix I believe we can do it. Vudoo’s build has all of the elements I am looking for in our pool – with the exception of the depth.
I have ~9 years experience creating architectural plans and am loathe to pay $ for plans. That being said I have never had a pool before so I think I may go that route. I think BYOP’s premier package is my top contender currently. Mostly due to the help with Backyard design and In-Floor cleaner design.
In my exploration of TFP I came across a build in California at one point where they had leveraged fiber lighting to illuminate the edge of the stairs into the pool and also some individual glass tiles set into the bar area - it looked amazing! any thoughts on fiber lighting?
I will get my signature done as soon as I am able to populate it with something.
