Nice. I hope to be at the phase you are in the next day or two..

Awesome! You are going to love the liner color.

Looks great! , we hope to start our construction first of November. We've discussed size of the pool deck ad nauseam. How wide is yours on the short and main side?

 

[l1ltaral1l]

Thanks! It is 18x36, and then the Roma steps extend out beyond that on each end.

 

[l1ltaral1l]

Oh shoot. Did you mean the pool or the concrete decking dimensions?

Sorry, the concrete decking.

 

[l1ltaral1l]

No worries!

So, I'm not sure of the actual dimensions, but can measure. We started with one idea, and ended with another. LOL! On the far side there is only 3 feet around, and 3 feet behind the deep end steps (the steps in the right of the photo). The total concrete (which includes a 10x12 pad for our storage shed) was 900 sq ft. We originally had 450 sq ft in the contract, and then added the additional (which I am SO glad we did).

 

[Cabottiger]

No that's fine, thanks...quick estimates seems you have 9-10 feet on the main side. That's what we were looking at doing for lounge chairs etc.

 

[Newdude]

I have 9 ft on 2 sides. With the loungers fully out you can easily get one person past it. Not much more than that though. And 9ft with a table and chairs gets tight really quick. I did 5 on the other two sides and wish I did 11ft /3ft with the same sq ft.

Very overcast today, but loving the liner. And so bummed I forgot about getting the grey drains/skimmers/returns. PB is going to check around for snap on plates to see if anyone makes them.

I'm pretty sure that the parts are available in grey. There should be a snap-on cover for the skimmer faceplate. The main drain grates should be easy enough. I don't think that I would remove the main drain frame because that could cause a leak. The return faceplates should be doable.

 

[Newdude]

Looking good miss. And by looking good i mean HOLY GOODNESS GRACIOUS !! Sweet job with the 5400 decisions you had to make. You nailed it.

 

[l1ltaral1l]

We only did a regular white light, but of course it’s all the rage with our littles tonight ?

Thank you! The white sticks out like a sore thumb to me.

I was like a kid in a candy store, so just tested the water. It’s dark here and very lightly misting. I don’t even know what the PB added today in terms of ‘chemicals’. So lots of things wrong, but at least I became familiarized with test kit. Right? ?

New pool build, liner and water (trucked water) added today.

pH: 6.8
Cl: 5
Br: 10
FC: 10-12.5 (no CC’s)
CYA: 32-35 (the last few drops went in at once)
TA: 350 (which got me to pink not red red)

 

[JamesW]

Recheck the numbers in the morning to see where everything is. Try to find out what was added.

 

[l1ltaral1l]

Ahhhh the color difference when the sun is out is crazy!

Just curious, looks like your yard is on a bit of a slope. Ours is as well. How did your pool builder bring up the low side to pool level? Did they do anything additional on that side for supporting the concrete deck?
