I eat lasers!
Scuba duba doo
As someone who is about to go through this whole process, this video could not have come at a better time! I am still trying to convince my wife, so a LASER should would help to make her feel as safe as possible! Great work so far! Love watching your videos on your journey and can’t wait to start our own!
@@justusweiss7307 can’t think of a better person for the laser level to go to. I am rooting for you my friend! Thanks for following along can’t wait to hear about your build.
@@ChadsCustomCreations Thanks! We are in Texas so a pool sure would make things a lot cooler over here!
Dude really! You are definitely brave. I believe I would still get out of the water to get the wire lol. Awesome explanation on the pool build and a great job!
This is a common thing for our family to do, to ensure our family is safe, we must test it out on ourselves first. Also, we watched a lot of Myth Busters as children 😁
It does sounds crazy right! Definitely just had to try it for myself, guess we can’t believe anything Hollywood tells us. My limited understanding is with the alternating current the power from the hot wire takes the path of least resistance which is that neutral wire which is so close the electricity doesn’t go out far at all.
@@ChadsCustomCreations you have a much better understanding then me. My knowledge goes towards eating wild plants nowadays. Just a few days ago I ate a wild blue berry while AJ and I were walking in the woods, he stopped and paused looking at me as I ate it, and asked what I ate. I told him, and he seemed skeptical. Then asked me, "Please don't die.". I laughed, because I was so happy to finally get a wild blue berry before the deers, my guardian dog is keeping them away from closer to the house 😅.
Cant wait to see tbe sliding pool deck cover!
Just became a fan of your channel, I have to say like I said in your last video, as long as your happy and you saved lots of money then who cares, everyone and anyone who sits here and complains about anything you're doing, tell them as the professionals they are to then come and do the work for free otherwise they should keep their negative comments to themselves. Using laser levels are the best though for finding out how well your work is doing and whether or not you're seeing any real worrisome changes in your levels. The scuba vacuum is amazing, I have always, and I mean always loved those robotic vacuums. I always took care of the pool and now I basically do everything with it, I was 17 when I started handling pools now, I am 40 and teaching my kids how to do it and they love it too!
Robert it’s an honor to hear you say that! Thanks for hanging out and best of luck on the giveaways.
Since we are building a new house and don't have the right tools yet, this laser would be a real help. I personally find your videos very helpful and funny at the same time. It's always a pleasure when a new video comes out. Nice Skuba.
For sure! I am rooting for you. I’ll be picking the winners soon and actually I am giving away 2 laser levels so even better odds for ya.
I just got finished watching your original pool & deck build, and while I'm not someone who's touched more than a few hours of construction work, I gotta say its certainly given me a lot of inspiration! Recently moved into a brand new home, and the yard is pretty empty. I would love to learn how to do something like this for myself! Good job with the project, and also.. laser!
Thanks so much for watching. I am glad this inspired you I hope you will do something similar for yourself. Best of luck on the giveaway.
Everyone loves scuba steve!!
Haha what is that from?
Thanks Chad got the RA Rotary. It has been fun playing with it. That laser looks great! I think you did a great job on the deck! Keep up the good work.
Kevin I am so happy to hear that! The RA2-Pro is so versatile, I am really glad it went to someone who can actually use it! Thank you for the encouragement my friend!
You said Laser so good luck on the next giveaway 😉
Laser! Would be amazing to when this 😱 love your pool and deck!
Thanks for watching best of luck on the giveaway!
I have the same pool as you in the backyard, and my dad spends sooo much time getting it clean every weekend! I feel terrible for him. It's never ending
That pool vac would help him so much! Scuba!
Thanks for watching best of luck on the scuba giveaway!
My laser eyes are just amazed with how well it is build how cozy it looks!!
Thanks for watching best of luck!
This pool is so great, I could you can run scuba classes in it. Wouldn’t that be a funny video 😂
That’s a great idea!
The laser and scuba bot are both super useful! Im setting up my ground and getting ready to set up an intex pool next summa!
That’s super exciting best of luck to you!
Great videos! I am going to buy that laser level and pool cleaner. It'll be cool to scuba dive while it's cleaning.
So happy to hear you enjoy them thank you for the support!
My wife barricades herself whenever I fire up my diode. I can't image what she would do with a LASER line bouncing around the room. If we still had our pool, I think she would have used that Pool Robot to try and keep me under - lol. Great Idea on the custom skimmer wedge!. - Guy
Hahaha sounds like we are in similar situations 😂 thanks for watching!
Hmm.. Laser is definitely something i could use in my building ventures. So far I have been counting on the ancient technique of transparent water hose leveling. Most of the time it works but only after I scream at those stubborn hose bubbles :P. Laser are the way to go, no doubt about it :D
The water levels are a pretty awesome trick! Definitely love the convenience of the lasers though! Thanks for watching best of luck on the giveaways.
Hey Chad love your video , did a project similar to this on my own, except hot tub version , made my own heater using solar with 500 feet of black irrigation hose and using 50 feet of copper pipe over a propane burner to heat it .
@@BudgetSurfer7 that sounds amazing. I am about to add an inflatable hot tub to our deck and I am going to build a nice wooden enclosure around it to fancy it up.
Love the pool idea! I got a quote to build one, but the price was way off level-this is a laser-sharp alternative! Like you said, 10 years is plenty of time for the kiddos to make a splash!
I think in this economy we will start to see a lot more people taking on pool builds like this. Thanks so much for watching!
Lmao you were scaring me with that toaster. Especially since you had nobody there just in case.
Yes it was a little iffy but definitely interesting to see how the electricity does not spread out hardly at all.
I look forward to the upcoming projects you mentioned.
You could build an outdoor kitchen and a sauna. Perhaps a swinging bed and saloon door shower or net lounge. The world is your oyster.
These are great ideas I definitely want an outdoor shower!
I think I am a bit late and in NZ.
My hubby is teaching me some building and sawmill skills.
We are only working with Rimu, Matai and Totara.
So I need to get things precise.
I need laser vision 😂.
I really could use a laser level.
Thank you for the demo.
Not too late for the giveaways! Best of luck to you.
Good follow-up. Laser and scuba 👍🏽
Thanks for watching best of luck on the giveaways
Love the pool and hope to build one hopefully in a few years! Dope laser.
Thanks so much for saying that. Best of luck on your future build.
The laser looks fantastic, nice and bright even in the daylight. Thanks for the video!
Yes it’s a great one definitely a tool anyone should have in their homes. Thanks for watching best of luck on the giveaway!
@@ChadsCustomCreations Thanks! Looking forward to future uploads as always :D
'Laser'
Great tool!
Awesome pool! 🍀
Thanks so much best of luck.
Wowie, your videos just get better and better. I see it is a family thing, to test things out on ourselves to protect our family. You must have good life insurance too. I hope someone was near by to kick you, if you got shocked too bad.
We have the dolphine pool cleaner for ours, but it is probably on its last leg, and they arent cheap....so with that said, SCUBA
Thanks for saying that I am glad you’re enjoying them.
You’re right about that I would never be able to forgive myself if something I made harmed my family. But as we can see it’s not as dangerous as our “master” electrician proclaimed it to be.
Best of luck on the Scuba giveaway!
@@ChadsCustomCreations thank you!
You are starting to give me Whistling Diesel vibes in your videos 😆
@@HybridMoto haha I’ll take that as a compliment, I like what Cody is doing over there on his channel.
@@ChadsCustomCreations it very much is a compliment. I am so happy for him to be doing so well in life. He truly is a good guy
... laser ... 😊 love these videos!
Elizabeth Ashleigh it’s an honor to hear you say that!
I love a good laser ! Almost as much as I love a good scuba snack 😁
Haha I see what you did there Thanks for watching best of luck on the giveaways!
@ChadsCustomCreations Hey you never said not to double dip! Hahaha thanks pal keep these bangers coming they're helpful and inspiring.
I think this will be the best gift for my family they just finished the pool in the ground
That’s awesome best of luck be sure to leave a comment with the word Scuba for a chance to win.
I wouldn't mind learning more laser engraver tips from you but I guess I could also learn to scuba as well haha.
Thanks for sticking around even when it’s not laser machine related! Thanks for watching best of luck on the giveaway!
I've enjoyed the videos! I would enjoy a laser level myself!!
Thanks for watching best of luck on the giveaway!
In my country this summer 2 persons die from an outlet droped in a pool, but in Romania we use 220v and the pool was way smaller, less water more current ... nice work with the deck and the pool!
That’s terribly sad… what country is this? I wonder if somehow just the hot wire got into the pool without the neutral wire. My test was showing the electricity was taking the path of least resistance which was straight to the neutral wire.
@@ChadsCustomCreations this is from Romania, there is an animation in this news video, smaller pool, double voltage...
th-cam.com/video/SB6hHCdEDOY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yXFCs3BteS2dnriy
That is terribly sad! 😢
I'm thinking of building a pool and deck myself. Want scuba in the backyard!!
You should totally do it best of luck.
Laser pool party! Get a couple more of those levels and throw a rave!
Haha I was a little worried about getting in trouble with the FAA with the vertical laser going up into the air space.
Laser! Need one like ASAP!
And love your content!
Thank you so much best of luck on the giveaway!
@@ChadsCustomCreations Thanks to you for the content and the contest :)
Laser and it all is looking good.
Thanks for watching best of luck on the giveaway!
If you wanna be extra safe with your string lights, make sure they're in a gfci outlet, make sure they're at least 10 ft above the water level, and run them along a support wire to eliminate the possibility of them falling into the water.
These are great tips thanks so much for sharing!
Loved your project -- it gives me lots of hope., even IF I can't do a canon ball. :- ) What kind of of bool stairs are the? I thinkyou did an outstanding job. Can't wait to see your next project -- which I assume will be outside lightng for th epool.. Loved the cost break down, How is the liner holding up?
Thank you Kathleen, I linked the pool stairs in the previous pool video. Thank you for the kind words I definitely have more to share about this project.
I appreciate these follow-up videos! Laser!
There you are Alex best of luck on the giveaways.
We like the Scuba cleaner.
There you go best of luck!
I love that pool cleaner and have a suction side pool cleaner but have to scuba dive in the pool once and a while to untagle the hose so been scuba diving amazon for a new one. That one you have would be perfect.
Robert that sounds like a good way to go I always was curious why my intex works on the pressure side of the pump!
Thanks for watching best of luck on the scuba giveaway!
I jumped when he got shocked!
@@daughterofsarah2793 haha same here 😂
I love Scuba Diving 😂
There you are Elio thanks for watching both of my videos best of luck on the giveaway!
Lasers! Great video!
Thanks for watching best of luck on the giveaway.
The laser looks fantastic
Thanks for watching best of luck on the giveaway!
Laser looks great
Andy Thanks for watching best of luck on the giveaway!
While I don't have a pool, I do have a need to keep a LASER like level focus on my upcoming projects! 😊
@@Wags44 that’s the spirit! Best of luck on the giveaway!
Man you're crazy scuba diving in the electric pool.
It was a little nerve wracking but the test didn’t lie. Best of luck on the scuba giveaway.
Love the electric tests. You are braver than me. I just put everything on ground fault plugs around my pool. Tested them by throwing a light socket into the pool and they immediately tripped. I also did not put 110v lights over the pool. Anything close is 12 volts.
I am really shocked that my gazebo doesn’t already have GFCI outlets I imagine they would have quickly negated my test but happy to see even without them theoretically the danger is not what the movies make us think.
To really blow you mind, I have a outlet under my toilet in one of my bathrooms. Not sure why it was put there and have never used it but did see if it has power and it does. I have since discovered it is run through the ground fault in the bathroom so at least it is fault protected. I have a paranoid friend that will not use that bathroom thinking somehow he will get electrocuted. I told him the only remote way that would happen is of he peed in it. Just a funny story. Maybe if he wore a scuba suit would pretect him. He is just lazer focused on it.
@@robertt8273 oh lucky that’s probably for a heated bidet! I highly recommend it if you’re not already using a bidet.
@@robertt8273I agree it is probably for a bidet. Good story though. Also, Myth Busters busted the peeing on something hot myth. But, don't tell your friend that 🤣
I have a bidet but it's not heated. I live in south florida and my water runs through my attic so I have the opposite problem. I need to make sure the water is not too hot now in the summer.
just an idea... when ur done with the pool make a shed big enough to add doors in the front of the deck below and make a gazebo on top of it...
I love that idea! You know I actually regret not using that tractor to dig out more space so that there would be more headroom under the deck for storage and such.
Great video 🎉
Thank you my friend!
That deck is way more level than my house, which is why I need a LASER!
Same here 😂 best of luck on the giveaway thanks for watching.
plug your overhead lights into a gfci outlet, that should hopefully automatically trip if they drop into the pool
Thanks for the tip! It’s definitely a good idea to practice safety around pools.
I love this channel
I love that you love it thanks for watching my friend!
What’s are the black poles and plastic squares you used for the fence. Where can I get them ?
@@noeramirez7075 check the video description on the original video I have everything listed out. th-cam.com/video/fCnQL3DcaC4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CqWl3b2AuTZqkpAJ
Laser. This would really help with some of the things I need to do around the house. I have a wooden deck.. or porch, idk what you would call it but it’s close to being level with the ground. I’m not sure if it would be best to replace it with the plastic decking or just concrete it. On a side note. If you were looking to start cutting/ engraving as a beginner what sort of system would you look for? I thought the one with the most options(rotary and laser) but with easy to use software. For big stuff I figure I would need an old manual milling table cnc but to start with I don’t think it’s a need just yet. I still need to find a local weld shop to see about getting a few good lessons so I can add that to my hobbies.. I was doing some blacksmith stuff and it would have been useful, lol. Best of luck on your next project.
Thanks for watching! For beginners I like anything that Xtool has to offer. I am about to put out a video on their M1 Ultra which is a multi functional unit it’s pretty slick.
@@ChadsCustomCreations sounds fun! And extremely useful.
I am laser focused on that cool laser waiting for the announcement of who the lucky person is. When will it be announced?
Thanks for entering Robert. Normally it takes about a month I always announce the winners in the following video but I am aiming for Sep 15th.
It amazes me. In Australia, every circuit is RCD protected. A lead landing in a pool will immediately trip the circuit well before you would even feel a tingle. The fact you can submerge electrical devices without tripping your circuit seems so outdated to me.
@@TheWizEdFromAus hey Ed it’s actually not normal or to code for the U.S. either. In the house near sinks showers or tubs, and all outdoor should be GFCI outlets.
I think it depends on the volume of water vs voltage. More volume, the more dispersion of voltage.
That’s an interesting theory I think we should test that!
I need this so bad scuba SCUBA “scuba” ScUbA scUba scuuuuuuba
I am definitely rooting for you! Thanks for watching!
Congratulations!!! You are the winner for the Scuba S1 Pro Pool Robot! Send me an Email at Chadscustom at G mail Dot com and I will get your address and ship off your new pool helper.
Laser, Thank you for doing the electrical test.
Glad you enjoyed them thanks for watching!
Looks like I am Laser to the party heh... I'll see my self out.
You’re right on time! Thanks for watching best of luck.
Why didn’t your fuse jump when threw the lights in the pool?? Should be right? Also, why is the fuse in your fuse box not jumping when you put the toaster in the water??
Definitely thought that would have been the case. So the toaster seemed to have its own built in trip. The lights I don’t think drew enough amperage to trip the house breakers.
Laser, yes actually I can I have to move soon and this would be super helpful for the blinds/curtins
Chris!!! Thanks for watching best of luck on the giveaway!
I am trying to accumulate as many droids as possible, so having a SCUBA droid would be a great addition to my droid army. Not to mention the positive impact on my pool...
Larry you and me both lol best of luck on the giveaway.
I love all things laser.
There you are thanks for watching best of luck!
Laser beams are just really focused cats chasing the world's tiniest red dot.
Hahaha I love that logic!
Cool editting.
Thanks so much I really appreciate it when people catch all the work that goes into the edits.
What is the name of your 3d printer?
It’s an old Longer LK5
🙂👍Thank you.
Id recomend a gfci breaker for greater safety.
Yes I agree 100% I am in shock that we have outlets outside that are not gfci
As mandatory funday always says- “Live. Laugh. Toaster bath”
😂
The laser come with a strap to attach to the shark's head...?
Michael I can make that happen thanks for watching best of luck on the giveaway!

Can't wait for the so-called "master electrician" to comment ;-)
Hahaha 😂 Tony I haven’t heard from any of then yet I am kind of surprised actually.
I feel I need a Scuba diver to clean the deep end of my pool.
Anthony it’s perfect for deep ends! Best of luck in the giveaway.
I like sharks with laser beams on their freaking heads!
This can be arranged 😂
Sure wish I had a deck and pool like yours, but looks like I'm a little laser than you!
Thanks for watching best of luck!
Would love that LASER if I would win do you send to Holland?
I would definitely ship worldwide for my viewers! Thanks for watching best of luck on the giveaway!
@@ChadsCustomCreations that's awesome. I have a cheap red laser that you don't see during the day. Building a new shed next month could use something like this. Was a long time waiting for the video again. But it was worth the wait. The jumping in the pool scared me do with the life Leeds. 😅
Scuba!
Best of luck on the giveaways!
Laser!!!
Thanks for watching best of luck on the giveaway!
First off I'd like to say I am very "Team Chads Custom Creations".. You did some very good work here. And it's "pertty" . Having said that, you should never jump in the water with freaking electricity "plugged" in to it.... Even to prove a point.. It's still dangerous. What if something had gone wrong and you got electrocuted with no one around to stop the power? I mean how would we get to see more videos? HUH? The reason you weren't unalived by the electricity was that the power cord provides a better path to ground than your body or the water does.
THIS TIME. That is why you got shocked only when you put your finger In the path of electricity traveling between the two wires. Power comes in the hot wire, goes through whatever it's powering and goes back down the the negative wire to ground. If you are between them when this happens you become part of the circuit and get popped. If any part of your body provides a better path to ground than the ground wire itself does, you will get popped or electrocuted.. Electrocution by definition means you die. Not a good thing and nothing to play with. You did however dispel a lot of myths about getting electrocuted in water. As far as all your erosion goes, maybe fill in some dirt around your concrete blocks and then cover them with rock to keep the dogs from digging.... use rough rock not smooth river rock because dogs don't like to dig in rock. Better yet enclose the underside of the deck altogether to keep the pets and critters out of there. Install a couple of hatches so you can get in under there when you need to. Still love the build but I would have never jumped in the pool with some electricity flowing into it especially with no one around to turn it off. You are crazy BTW.... My only criticism. Great content..... still subscribed.
John you’re absolutely right! I guess worst case scenario would be if a tree branch broke open the hot wire on the string lights and fell into the pool while the neutral stayed shielded somehow. Though I am still curious how far out that would dissipate in my pool even with 3,400ppm salt which should provide some decent conduction. I am team John BTW 😉
@@ChadsCustomCreations Haha.. Thanks. I had no concerns about the lights hanging over the pool just the crazy guy jumping in the pool with a live wire swimming around. Perhaps if you used a lower voltage light system it would be a less risk of shocky.. maybe 12 or 24 volts.. again like you said unless a tree branch falls and knocks the lights into the pool you should be okay. You probably won't be swimming out there during a wind storm anyway. But then again you are crazy....
Laser!
Brannon great to hear from you best of luck on the giveaway!
I guess you wanted to solve the case with precision, so he called in the laser for a clear-cut solution.
You’ve got that right!
Did you not give away the F1 Ultra? Your last video said you would and you said in this video you only gave away a rotary attachment
Not yet, watch again my friend. I said “eventually” I will give away this whole set up. The actual giveaway was engraved on the pizza peel and engraved in bold letters it says for an RA2-Pro
Scuba!
Best of luck Astrid!
scuba scuba STEVE
Russel thank you for watching!
Laser go ahead and send me that thing. Maybe I can put it to use replacing our floors
It’s perfect for leveling floors! Best of luck.
Freaking LASER!! Can this project be done without a LASER? So, how much leveling can a LASER level, if a LASER level can level? I'm 1:57 into the video and I don't see Norman. BOO!!!
How could I ever forget Norman 19:40 wink 😉
Yo gimme that scuba robot lol
Best of luck thanks for commenting!
It’s a freakin lazer
You’re right about that best of luck.
