Pool crete in stages?

[oh-DIY-io]

So my dig will be done tomorrow and hopefully my walls same/next day.

I can't get the concrete collar done until Tuesday or Wednesday but I'd like to get something done.

Can I do my pool bottom next? I prob shouldn't get up to the walls since the collar could push them around a bit, but I'm wondering if I can do the bottom and maybe some of the dirt walls. I could finish off the walls a few days later.

Bad idea?

You can do the poolcrete in stages but I would be careful about getting too far ahead. Most pool guys will put the liner in immediately after the poolcrete. You don't want to contaminate it by walking on it or working around it........you can leave boot imprints if you are not careful. It's just not a really durable platform.

Every pool floor I install, we trowel the floor and come back the next day to clean the floor up. you can check for any bad spots and assure yourself you have no potatoes under your liner. just my opinion
