Hi Andrew, nice your pool is started. It’s really going to finish off your patio area and keep you refreshed on those hot humid days. You know what your doing so I know the end product or job is going to be beautiful. Good luck my friend. 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦
Hi Andrew, from one Floridian to another 🌞 there is nothing like having your own pool in Florida. It will be a life changing stress reliever and will add years to your life. ♥️♥️ Take care 😎🍺🩳👙🍹
I recommend putting in a center drain when you replace liner in 5 to 8 years. It makes it so easy to pump out partial or all pool water. THANK you for sharing& and I look forward to seeing the pump & filter installed..Keep Up The Good Work!
FANTASTIC! We did something very similar with a 15" x 30" oval pool that meets up with our back porch 6 years ago. I struggled for 3 days to get to the point where you are at 10 minutes into the video. We are close to needing to replace our liner... I can't believe how fast it faded to almost completely white. That'll give me a chance to get rid of the wrinkles that has been annoying me for 6 years. I'm looking forward to seeing part 2!
My friend has this exact pool that's 5 years old. Her liner just started showing signs of fading. She uses a copper ionizer and little to no chemicals. That probably helps.
@@TKCL 😳 We went with a salt water pool and a salt system and we leave our pool open and uncovered year around. I'm sure 365 days of N.E. Florida sun takes its toll. I got the best liner available when I ordered the pool too. 10 year warranty, I think, but it'll be completely white by then, lol. I see liners have went up in price like everything else. I might have to refinance the place to get a liner in a few years...
Looks like you picked a dark liner (back is dark blue) the sun fades a white backed liner fast. The darker the better. I can’t wait to see how this all is going to look after all of this. Lighting in the pool is amazing at night. I love that about our pool. Looks like the water is pearls when you jump in.
Very Very nice Andrew well thought out per usual and boy oh boy you'll never have to worry about Ruger running away from home when he has a beautiful pool to relax in
Awesome Andrew. I know one lady that is gonna be very Happy. Her name is Tiffany and she deserves it. Also Andrew that is a Great build. I would of never thought of doing all that. Great job!
Stone dust LOVES water. Too dry, and it won't pack well. Too wet and the stone dust turns to mush, but when you put in the stone dust, wet it down. It will pack so much better.
I am so excited to see the pool. FINALLY!!! I hope we get a price breakdown once it's all done. Keep it up, Andrew, and i will keep adfing things to my future house build.
It’s really a shame I didn’t find these pool videos until after I built mine. The manufactures and people who sell these pools are trapped in the 70’s at best with sales and support. Great job on your videos and build! Thank you(even if too late for me:)
I sitting here wondering what filter system you are going to use. I personally with a pool I had couple years ago did saltwater with a huge sand filter but used zeolite for the filter material. Just make sure you wash the filter material first to get the powder out or it will cloud the pool for a day or two. My pool was always crystal clear. I do know there are peroxide systems also that are really nice.
I'm running a 22-in sand filter with regular silica media material. The only treatment I'm doing to the pool is a copper ionizer. Occasionally I'll float some chlorine tablets in it. Our friend has this identical setup and her pool has been perfect for almost 5 years.
OH man that brings back so many nightmares. I paid a small forutune for my pool. same size as yours. $3000.00 for the pool installed. tree removal was $400. electrical $600. plus much $$$ for chemicals. stairs. deck .. kept it for 3 seasons and sold it for a HUGE LOSS. make sure that row of bolts holding the outside together is well covered to protect the liner. my installer only used DUCT TAPE and that was the first area where the bolts rubbed through and started to leak.
Very nice brother. I am guessing the small slab is for the pumps? Maybe you covered that and I didn't catch it. Looking forward to your next live Q&A. Good stuff.
Love all your videos! Hope you are feeling better! I saw your video about your back going out! My wife and I are wanting to do an above ground pool as well! What brand / model was this one? You might have said in the video but I missed it.
Watching Ruger check your work as you were pulling that first string, I’m just about convinced that he thinks he’s the home owner, and he keeps you around for entertainment value, and because you know where the food is, and have those handy opposable thumbs.
Honestly 10 hours after putting a couple of hoses in it I had to cut it off and go to bed, it was going to be high through the night. A few more hours the next day has it right. Filled up a day quicker than expected. It's 23,000 gallons if I remember correctly. I'll for sure use it with my fire pump in the event of a fire.
One more question did you put the cove on the ground or did you put it on top of a three inch base of sand or sifted earth you know used the notch on the back of the cove to cover the the pool trac
Cove has the notch to go right over the pool track. I didn't add sand as a "cove", just to level put the bottom of the pool base. Fabric right over the cove.
@@TKCL cheap enough! I paid like $5k all in for mine. I did get stainless bottom rails and an extra thick liner.. No wonder they installed it for only $150.
Hey man love the pool! Hope y’all enjoy it! If you don’t mind me asking where did you get it from like someplace local or did ya order it? Reason I was asking is I’m really thinking about doing something like this and if it was somewhere local I don’t live to far away from your area! I’m like 45 minutes away from the Live Oak area!
🇨🇦😎No center drain? No stone dust... hummm dam boy you gone cheap... sand is horrible as a base. And you could of added a 2 food lower center.... but hey at least you got a pool. Thinking of adding a small ingrown pool here my new place.
I've never seen stone dust available here. This pool is only rated to dig out the center of maximum of 6 in, you can't stretch this liner two feet. I didn't do the center drain because our friend has this identical pool, and she's had it for 5 years with zero issues on filtering and clarity. I copied her exact setup because it works so well for her.
@@TKCL with stone dust the floor and form feels like a cement base and will not make lumps like sand does. First 3 pools we had was all sand and the last one I paid to have it installed. Since the last one was such a pain on 2 guys. Then I saw tricks of the trade and bow to the experts. It was so well done it made me angry to take it down for house resale. The new buyer did not want it. As he did not swim. Stone dust is a side product of stone crushing and it should be available. It's great for many things as well as no ants..... the center drain makes it so you hardly need to clean the pool. And when you do the center can be used like a dust pan as well. It also helps to keep the water clean and less algy
Ahhh I see. I'm afraid that won't work in our extremely hot environment. I need to see the specs. I have to move a tremendous amount of water for 8+ hours a day here for my system to work well in the heat of the summer. I'm not going the chemical route. Something to look into.
Did you think of putting up an oval pool at all I have a oval pool myself and I have had put pools up and I found that they look nice and easy to keep clean and even better than round one and hear in Florida you should put the pool on a 12by12paver and are you going to put it up the new way buy using the foum board on bottom and for the cove mike
It's far easier to use an excavator and align a square to an existing structure than a circle. It's all about the equipment used. The pool frame has sections that are straight, those needed to be lined up to the porch for a future deck. That's very easy to line up to a straight line because we dug a square. Deck is now installed, I'd do the same exact thing again next time.
Andrew the pool looks very nice. Hard work will be rewarded with a beautiful oasis you and Tiffany will enjoy for many years to come.
Thank you, we certainly hope so.
I am anxious for upcoming videos - you and Tiff are SOOOO going to enjoy this!💜💜💜
Thank you, we've been dreaming of this forever!
Andrew, Awesome pool very informative video, I know you and Tiffany will enjoy it.
We sure will! Thanks for watching

Love the vacuum idea, first time seeing that.
Works great

Your pool broom ballet was interesting to watch:)))

Heck Andrew now that you have a pond in your yard all you need is to add trou and bass. Job well done 👏
Lol I don't think they would like this water.
Looking good!!
Interested in where you purchased your pool. I’m looking for something similar to put up next to my barndo before we can afford an in-ground pool.
Pool warehouse online shipped straight to me.
You’re place is so freakin cool !
Thank you, I'm always saying we are building our bachelor and bachelorette pad.

you wasnt kidding around the fire trailer epp! that pool and a pump you got plenty of water! wow thats a bigin!
23000 gallons ready to go!
@@TKCL holy crud that is awsome! be nice when its done! floating in your chair sipping sweet tea and your toenails painted johndeer green!
Sweet tea!?!? Naaaaaa I need one of those fruity adult drinks with an umbrella.
@@TKCL that works too! and notice he ignores the johndeer green toenails! when that day comes just be thankful for socks!
😬
The pool looks awesome and cold 🥶... Well water is always cold over here mine is @380ft deep
My water comes out around 70°. However with our Florida heat, the pool temps already up to 84°
@@TKCL that warm. Our water is coming out at 48 degrees 🥶🥶
Yikes!
How long did it take for it to fill up.... now you have a ??? Gallon fire hydrant at your front door ..cheaper insurance right lol
Honestly 10 hours after putting a couple of hoses in it I had to cut it off and go to bed, it was going to be high through the night. A few more hours the next day has it right.

Are you going to gravel under the deck...or mulch...crushed granite...Im curious bc I may do this someday..
Weed barrier and then gravel is the plan.
I hope the rain filled the pool, cheap source of water - we have to pay for a new pool water here in Australia. Is it same in US?
No we have abundant water supply here from our own wells.
Looks good, looks like you did a good job on the pool. How long did they say the liner should last?
I keep hearing five to eight years on the liner. My friends is 5 years old and just now starting to fade. But she has no leaks and it's held up great.
It's pool time! I know ur gonna make it look easy but I helped my brother with his above ground pool 1 time, never again!! Lol
LOL I understand, I'm not looking forward to installing another one of these either.
Nice!! Great work as usual (like I know LOL) 🙂
Thank you very much
Hey have you had any problems with your foam cove on the bottom ?
None
Great job Andrew.
If i wasn't retiring, you would have a job in concrete! What brand pool did you go with?
I'm definitely a nooby to concrete work. The pool is a Deep Dubai model.
amazing 😊.....▶️👍
Nicely done boss. Where did you buy your pool? Where I purchased mine they only charged an extra $150 to install it
Online from Pool warehouse. I got this on sale for $1900 plus pump and filter extra. They definitely are not going to install it for that price 😬
@@TKCL cheap enough! I paid like $5k all in for mine. I did get stainless bottom rails and an extra thick liner.. No wonder they installed it for only $150.
Stainless rails sound great!
Hi Andrew, where did you get the white geotextile fabric?

very nice, any plans on doing a solar pool pump?
No, I bought a large 1.5 hp pump and it's extremely power hungry. It would require a significant system.
@@TKCL you can get a dc pool pump that only pumps when the solar panel has power. so that way you not loosing on the power conversion.

How are those elbows feeling after all that tamping lol? Looking good so far.
Great! I was expecting to be sore but I wasn't.
🤿got my gear ready, whats the temperature at??
Between 80-84
Are you going to power it by Solar would like to see that my pool pump is eating my power bill
Hadn't planned on it, I'm not looking forward to my electric bill jumping up. If I get enough requests I'll look into a solar pump.
I’m in the process of installing one of these pools. I’m ready to quit. I’m pretty handy but I think I’m just over thinking it.
You need a few hands to help, but it's doable.
@@TKCL I’ll try. I tried finding a pool company with no luck. I’m just gonna go it myself. And call it the day. Should be up by the weekend.

Great video, however i feel like you caused yourselves extra work by excavating a giant square instead of a large circle.
It's far easier to use an excavator and align a square to an existing structure than a circle. It's all about the equipment used. The pool frame has sections that are straight, those needed to be lined up to the porch for a future deck. That's very easy to line up to a straight line because we dug a square. Deck is now installed, I'd do the same exact thing again next time.
🤘
You really could have done that with your tractor !
Cool pool !
Yes but there's a lot more dirt removed than you think. Might as well let the excavator do the heavy lifting.
👀
That excavator operator though. Is he just a hobbyist? Or have a business
That operator is retired and works as needed for my friend who has a septic tank business.
😍🤩😘😇😇
Hell Ya, Lemme grab my speedo! I'm on the way! Will Tiffany grill us something, I'm buying

Congratulations on getting your pool started. Your arms are probably like steel after all that tamping
It's been a job for sure.
