Facts

[@mattmatt222333]

Are you the home owner, pool builder, or both?

[@BackyardLapPool]

Matt - we are the home owners - we spent 12 years designing, engineering, creating the construction plans, selecting materials / equipment and saving money for the pool, and then contracted with a local builder and his contractors for the technical portions of the build. We did some of the less specialized work like the pavilion, first deck coating, fencing, some of the demolition, irrigation systems, artificial turf under the trampoline, etc to help save some money.

[@chemicalcommander6242]

@@BackyardLapPool 12 years?

[@BackyardLapPool]

chemical commander yeah - not continuous on the planning front - but saving the whole time. Usually we would work on the design a bit here and there as we saw things we liked on pool shows or ideas my wife spotted on Pinterest. I did the CAD work and we probably went through a couple dozen versions of the pool till we landed on its current form. We had the lot drilled by geotechnical engineers and the shell designed by another firm based on the soil core samples. When we were comfortable with the design, we reached out to a local builder to contract the trades.

Been over 40 years since I did any gunite work; but this footage went way to fast to tell if this was actual gunite or shotcrete at first; then I saw where they were shoveling rebound out which indicates gunite. Gunite is a dry mix with water injected at the nozzle and shotcrete is a wet mix with air injected at the nozzle. Many people got ripped off in the past getting pools built by shotcrete vs actual gunite; being charged a gunite price vs what is charged for shotcrete. Gunite is far stronger than shotcrete. Anyhow, I was very impressed with the way the pool was laid out using the earth as the form vs building a separate form and back-filling. Nice job guys!

Everyone is complaining how it is too big and there isn't enough yard space left for anything. If you watched to the end you can see that the people this pool is made for is for Swimmers. They don't play soccer or football for sport, then swim. This pool is do big because it is a lap pool that they use for practice. Of course no one needs a swimming pool this big just for chilling and hanging out. They are using this pool for training. It needed to be this size.
