Well, updating you all....we have the back fill in so now we are just working it to help it settle better. In my area you have to put a wire mesh around the perimeter of the pool before you can pour the concrete. Before we do that, I want to make sure the ground is settled more. We have had a long hot and dry summer so we took a long pipe attached it to our water hose and went around the pool making holes. You can tell some places are not settled yet as the pipe goes in very easy. After we do this, then we get more sand/dirt and fill it in. It may take a while before the final steps for completion but I am patient. I have until Jan. 2011 before my Building Permit expires.
I do think people who rush their pool builds are the ones who have problems down the road.
I'll get a current picture for you guys soon.
