New AGP Install

[bradatkins]

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!

Here's a picture of the foam going in:

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!
