Want to build block pool myself someday

[Watermom]

Hi, Mike, and welcome to the Pool Forum! I'm sorry I can't help you with these questions, but just wanted to pop in and say hi and let you know that you weren't being ignored! There may be someone here who can help with some of your questions, but I have to tell you, pool building is not the main focus of our forum; water chemistry is. Having said that, we will keep our fingers crossed that someone can offer you some advice. PoolDoc may be able to answer some of your questions since he is also a master plumber.

Block pools were fairly common 25 years ago, but I've never seen any online how-to. Doesn't mean there isn't one, but I haven't seen it.
