Pool Build for 3 Excited Little Swimmers (w/pics)
Comments (79)Glad to hear it's all coming together for you momof3. I do wonder if all the problems began after GM's "departure" but consistent lying and not not showing up to the job site and leaving our backyard in shambles have left us no choices and now we are moving on and getting things done our way. Never said it was your fault Jimbar...Just expressing what we are going through, with the same people who you worked with...with very different results..consider yourself very lucky. We have learned from several contractors that our PB is well known for taking on way too much, he's short staffed and has several cases against him for lack of finishing the job, he subs everything out despite his website claiming "no subs"...so, we wait on subs to finish other jobs to get to us and are lied to consistently - he blames everyone else and keeps blaming GM (he was in sales he's not a builder) it shows MW's inexperience and immaturity as a business man - he screws people, plain and simple. These delays will cost him in the end, as you can see from this forum (and there are others where I have read about CB) his reputation is exactly what we are going through so I am happy for those few who can claim a a good experience, there aren't many of you jimbar. ..thanks for your time and input....See MorePlano, TX Pool Build - New Pics!
Comments (20)They are just set on 4" of crushed rock and 1" of coarse sand, no mortar. I guess that's dry set. They told me the color is walnut, some of the white is dust, they're kind of a light brown color. I don't know what color your coping is but if it's white I'd go with a a darker color paver. Ivory may be too light....See MoreArizona Pool Build - Progress Pics
Comments (11)Well, plumbing has been over the last two days, fighting with the monsoons off and on. As you can see, the nice clean porch is no longer. Not too excited about the pool equipment being so close to the pool, but we didn't really have many other options. Some creative landscaping should take care of it. For those in the know, the city of Gilbert wouldn't allow us to put it on the side of the house because it would block the fire access... A big muddy mess... Now I can see why there's caution tape....See MoreOwner/builder Pool Build starting - Jax, FL - Pics inside
Comments (15)Well I have not updated in a few days because I have been too busy to have a chance. The latest for today; the pool will be plastered and completed tomorrow, making it a three week project. The landscaping and gutters for the house were completed today. The marcite was delivered from supplier today and will be installed tomorrow. We start filling the pool tomorrow after marcite and will be swimming over the weekend. I will post some pictures tonight of the progress as of today and then I will start a new post tomorrow or Friday with the completed pictures of the pool. It just depends on how long the water fill up takes. It has been very time consuming and hard work doing it myself, but totally worth it in the end, especially to have it completed in 3 weeks. Can't wait for the weekend! :-)...See Morebobinbaltimore
