It's frustrating when people get impatient on a construction site. We're all hot ,over worked & under paid (most jobs) its important to take your time so you don't mess up a home, a pour or in this case a family pool. I was so happy to see you being patient to and grateful to the workers. I've been pouring concrete since I was 11 yrs old with my dad. It's a hot, hard job but the end results always makes me feel good. My dad started using me for brush work but he realized I could do patterns and I LOVED every minute of it aside from the heat 😅

[@AutisticMorty]

Exciting to see something built so quickly, I'm used to watching DIY KZbin videos that take months-years to finish build. But $65,000 for what looks like a relatively small pool 😬 Just shows how much the USD has devalued in the last 15 years.

[@KomarProject]

This build actually took months too lol. Just edited it down

[@bcroft68bc]

In the last year and a half, the price of pools has sky rocketed because of the rise of labor cost and the rise of cost in items. 2, maybe 2 1/2 years ago, this would have been a $45.000 pool. I know because some friends of ours got a pool almost the same size of this one for $45.000 in 2020.

[@AutisticMorty]

@@bcroft68bc Over 40% of all currency in circulation was minted within the last 2 years. $45,000 x 1.40 = $63,000. So the increased cost was almost completely a result of US Dollar devaluation. Cash is trash.

[@bcroft68bc]

@@AutisticMorty no matter what has caused the price to go up, the fact of the matter is that the cost of everything has skyrocketed. The only thing that isn’t skyrocketing is my salary. Where I live, there is nearly a years wait on pools. My wife and I are going to put a down payment on one so that we can get in line. It won’t be built until sometime in 2023 though.

[@AutisticMorty]

@@bcroft68bc You definitely need to push for a raise. Companies are charging higher prices as a result of inflation, and employees who switch companies are getting raises of 10-20% at the new job. If your salary is not going up, you're losing spending power each year. CPI was 8.5% this year, your salary should have gone up at least that much. But as you can see with pools, a 20%/year raise, over each of the last two years, should be expected just to keep up with the cost of living. There is more demand for labor than there are workers available, so don't feel ashamed to demand a raise.

If you want your heater to last more than 2-3 years I would advise adding a check valve after the outlet to prevent that concentrated chlorine water backfeeding into the exchanger after the system turns off.

We just finished up our fiberglass pool in Florida. Spent about the same and had similar things come up. I noticed they used wooden braces. Did they happen to remove those? Our inspector made them be removed which caused major leveling issues. Just curious. Totally agree that it was worth it. Especially now that the same project was quoted well over $100,000! Enjoy!

[@davidcraner]

Hey you should bison palm trees around and you and you got a good-looking pool that

[@stevebuchanan4829]

Would have thought the gravel and leveling would be done before dropping the pool?

[@RaVeN1K]

I build a pool once, about the same size, for a fraction of the prize. Do you plan on making a cost breakdown video like you did with the slab? I would rly like to know what the contractors cost.

[@KomarProject]

The contractor we hired included everything from pool installation to concrete. And all of that was 64,500. So there really isn’t any breakdown I can provide. Sorry man

[@AutisticMorty]

What year was that? The dollar has devalued dramatically. Supplies and labor have doubled and tripled in the last 15 years.

[@RaVeN1K]

Oh, it was around 20 years ago, also it happened here in Europe. Unlike the US we build all our houses with stone and concrete so supply is not an issue, its every day use material, it also had no labor cost since it was done by family members (4-5 ppl). These days ppl build a lot with plastic materials, we build everything we could out of stone and concrete and the inside of the pool was tiled instead of plastic foil or insert. The whole plan was done by our neighbor who works in that field and helped us out, calculating the cost for us up front and look after us from time to time during the construction process. The material was hauled from the hardware store to our property with a rented van, concrete was mixed by ourselves on site and it was a ton of work, but a fun family project, one of the rare positive memories i have of my family, lmao.

@@KomarProject $65K for all that seems like a good price to me.

[@vikramparmar8093]

@@RaVeN1KWith this explanation in your second post that you provided, you initial statement about building a pool for a fraction of the price was very misleading, don't you think?

Great Video man. Enjoy your pool.

prices are all over the place. just completed a 14x28 shotcrete pool with sunshelf, bubbler, waterfall, wetedge pebbletec, seat wall along waterfall wall and 700sq ft of travertine deck for about 70 here in Fl.

[@Zach_Miller]

65K for a pre-cast seems astronomical

[@boomersD9CAT]

That’s not a precast pool,that’s a Fiberglass pool. There are companies that manufacture precast concrete pools.Precast concrete pools come with 4-5 options for the interior…tile,vinyl liner,pebble/plaster, EcoFinish, and PVC membrane interiors.

[@whatchamacallit1young138]

Way to small!

[@geraldmoses5155]

Make sure you monitor your calcium hardness in that fiberglass pool. You will have to add it, as a fiber pool will not leach any calcium back into the water the way a concrete pool will. 400 ppm is a good number btw. If you don’t do this, I promise you in a few years it will start turning to chalk and you’ll have the dreaded cobalt staining. Seen it a hundred times. And be careful when you mix it up, it will get literally fire hot in the bucket. Been servicing pool for 10 years btw.

We got one in 1976. They dug the hole and used a crane to drop it in. Also a Jacuzzi on the side in Garden Grove California.

A pool like this has to fit on a lowboy (so 40' is MAX length) and it has to be shipped in so 16' wide is max.

I literally just watched another video a couple hours ago of a pool install, but it was a time lapse with no explanation of the process. I ended up having so many questions that you answered here. Awesome video as always!

You are very welcome. Any other questions feel free to ask. I know it can be a stressful decision and process

65 grand! Damn looks like I’ll be hitting Walmart for a blow up pool lol

[@jamesf3801]

I was quoted 85k+ for gunite pool here in georgia. If 65k to much you can always spend under 35k for a vinyl pool.

[@sly9263]

65 grand, isn't that what your ZL1 cost? lol. You can get a home equity loan for for that price and basically just add $150-175 to your mortgage... really isn't as big a deal as most people would think

@@KomarProject your very welcome my friend.

[@hecope]

Great video. Too bad people suck at what they do. How difficult is it to make sure the concrete pitch is correct. Especially with a form. Would have been a breeze screeching it from the beginning. Would have eliminated the low spots. Reminded again to interview the contractor on their specific steps. I don’t know about Chicago area but $65000 seams a bit high. Thanks

[@KomarProject]

Ya I wish I caught the mistakes as they were happening too. We checked pricing and for our area it was the cheapest we could find for a size like that. Maybe that was our problem lol

[@MsVaughnTV]

"Here in Chicago" lol. This looks like Bourbonnais or Kankakee somewhere.

[@MADE2B]

65k for fiberglass pool? Are you kidding me? In California you get a real concrete pool & spa for 55k (35x15) smh

[@cade8415]

the way they did it was crazy efficient

[@johnk5665]

What I've learned. By above ground.

[@TimberRidgePro]

100% We got our AGP and love it. It’s 24’ round and 4’ deep. I did the install myself with some family members in a weekend and then built a nice deck around it. It’s easy to take care of and winterize and there’s no underground pipes to worry about. I bring the pipes and pump in for the winter, drain everything out of the sand filter and cover it with a winter tarp and leaf net. The family really enjoys it and it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg and we could use money to buy pool toys, inflatables and furniture for the deck. Def the better way to go IMO.

[@tlounsbury]

Using that flex PVC is a big mistake. It will crush and collapse underground. I have repaired many pool leaks due to lazy pool builders.
