15' round 4.8K gal Intex AG pool; Intex 633 pump with twin canisters (2500 gph main filtering); Unicel 5315 filter cartridges; Intex 637 pump w/o filter (1000 gph heater circulation); 4hrs; K-2006; utility water; PF:24
So got the side supports up:
Then the walls:
Then checked for level, this was nerve racking:
I also checked it with a transit to be doubly sure.
For some reason I didn't snap any pictures of the extruded foam or the coaving going in, maybe my wife did. I will check.
Now the liner is in, and most of the top plates:
But once I got to the last piece, and I had an awful bow in the wall:
I had to "losen" of the top plates to consume this bow. Then I ended up with the top plate not being expanded enough to fit the last piece:
So I losened it a bit more and voila!
I put an inch or so of water in, and tonight will try and get the rest of the wrinkles out, then continue the filling!

Water going in, liner looking pretty loose:
About 8-10" of water in now, and liner is tight:

Enjoy!
Thanks! It's been great so far, the boys are in and out of it all the time. Me too I must confess. It's a great way to cool down while working on the rest of the setup.
The making of a deck:
Lots of blocking to make for a sturdy handrail!
Got the stairs installed:
And the access panel for my skimmer:
The making of a deck railing:
Note this one is at night, some people came over and I took a wee break (and a swim!)
I had to tie into my existing deck railing, until I replace it to match:
One interesting thing is whoever built my deck, sucks. They used more lag bolts then they use in a sky scrapper, yet you blow on the railing and it shakes. My railing is not yet bolted in, and solid like a rock.
Got the main piping for my solar system installed, just waiting on the hose for the coils:

Here's a picture of the first coil. I've only built 2 for this year. Plan to build more next year:
The flow of water to/from solar:
The plan I'm following:
And the picture of the deck completed!
