Now you get to water your pool 2-3 times a day for the next week or so.

Forms for the concrete deck went in today. I think all that is left is concrete, 'plaster', equipment hookup, and startup.

Got some concrete poured today. It's dyed and salted. We didn't want to pay extra for the stamped. I kinda like the color it is now while wet. It will dry a light tan color. You can see some hint of that on the edges.

I built a fence at my moms old house that was about 400ft for less than that. I would say do it yourself if you can. just check with the building codes in your area.

Pool builder has to do interior pool surface, equipment install, and pool fill.

I still have to get a fence up, drainage, irregation, build a retaining wall between the stone wall and fence, and move that mound of dirt to use as fill behind the wall.

I've priced the materials out at about $1400. That doesn't include hauling the old fence away. It would be a whole lot easier if there were no existing fence.

Yeah getting rid of the old fence does seem to be a problem. borrow a truck and take it to a dumpster?

You should leave the pipes sticking up like they are in the middle of the pool, that way Jeremy will have something to sit on when you have an SRIC meet there!
