Dshlaw Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I just signed the pool construction contract and dirt work should begin next week. Thanks all on this forum and at GardenWeb's pool forum for the great advice that has gotten me this far. I welcome your continuing advice now and throughout construction. These are excerpts from my contract: L-shaped, gunite/plaster "play pool": main part 15' x 32', depth 3.5' to 4.5' to 3.5'; short part will be 8' x 16', including an 8' x 8' spa with in-pool spa walls. coping antique brick (double layer) deck broom-finished concrete with brick borders and expansion joints 2 skimmers, 3 returns in pool 2" plumbing to/from pool and 2.5" plumbing to/from spa Pool Equipment: 2 hp Hayward pressure pump for spa, model no.

Contractor shall furnish necessary chemicals for placing the pool in operation. Contractor shall conduct all necessary plaster curing startup procedures, except that Owner will do the pool brushing during the startup period, and Contractor shall make the pool chemically balanced at the end of the startup period including adding the salt and starting the salt chlorine generation system. Again, I welcome any additional advice, ESPECIALLY before construction begins. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoolSpaGuy30 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 very nice, everything looks good to me...only thing I would change if it was my pool, is instead of the top mount Hayward filter, I prefer the side mount which brings the port-valve lower to the ground making the plumbing appear much more clean, I know this is very very nit picky but that's how I am with my plumbing In most cases the equipment is behind a fence so most homeowners could care less, either way make sure you keep us updated with some pics during the build and congrats on the new pool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a pic of the pool construction area yesterday afternoon... Not very good pool weather and HIGHLY unusual for Mississippi. I guess I'm betting the come!
