We Finally Dug Our Ground (Pics)

Hey Rohn, progress is looking good. Yes, you got the plastic thing right. The ground looks good and it should be ready for sand.

The only link to your pictures that is working for me is the one from my post on page two???

Let's try this and see if it works.

I can't wait to see that wall up. Get the blender ready, it's almost time.

So today we got the plastic laid down and the sand on top. Man that is alot of trips with the wheelbarrel.
Tomorrow the wall goes up. We are technically on vacation now and you wouldn't believe how fast I drove home.
More pics to follow.

Dennis...I hope this is what you where talking about with the plastic. Please tell me it is!!! : )~

Will our yard ever look decent again??

Perfect so far. Be sure to assemble all of your side supports and pressure plates before you install the wall. I do this before the sand but that should not be a big thing. They are needed to hold the wall up as you are placing it into the bottom rail.

Hope for more photos tomorrow, Dennis

I am so glad you said that. My hubby and I were wondering. Our directions say to put the wall up and then the side supports but that didn't make any sense. Now that the sand is holding the straps down, I guess the side supports can stand up now instead of falling over.
Makes it easier. Thanks

WE DID IT!!!
We finished building on Saturday and started filling Saturday late afternoon.
Here is the picture I took today, (Sunday) as it was filling.
I don't ever want to do this again. Our next house will have an inground or above ground already in place.
The deck comes later either this year when its cooler or next year. We were in it when the water was up to our knees. We couldn't help it. As I type this at 10:30pm, it is just about 1/2 full. We shut the water off for the night and my DH will start it at about 7:00am when he leaves to go golfing.
Anyways, here is the picture:

And to everyone who chimed in with help and tips and compliments, thank you all. Especially you Dennis...your the bomb. You have been wonderful with all your great hints and everything.

Now for our next trick....
Getting the BBB down to a science.

Well our pool is about 1/2 full or a bit more. We haven't put in the skimmer or return yet until it is an inch below those.
Our water is very clear right now and sparkly but I feel like I should be adding something to it. I will post numbers shortly.
Thanks,
Rhon

Great job, I am so happy for you. I sure hope some others here can take over and help you keep the water clean and safe for swimming.

Enjoy the pool, Dennis
