Looks great! I have an inground that was here when I bought..biggest issue I have come up against is ground water around outside of pool. This overtime has caused concrete deck issues, pool stair issues, and liner issues. THE SOLUTION, is to install a sump pit drain system right next to the pool to help eject the ground water that gets down between the liner and earth. I have to add, I'm in the North East (Michigan) so we get hot and cold seasons with ground freezing winters that can play games with inground pools. Even with those issues and risks, wouldn't trade the pool in for anything, as it brings so much fun during the warm months. Thanks for taking the time to share your build process. liked and new Sub'r.

Yup, instructions do come when you buy a full kit but its REALLY helpful if you have a little bit of construction experience. Excavating was the hardest part and took the longest (lots of hand work with pick-axe and shovels). If you buy a complete kit then your total cost will be the kit plus whatever gravel and concrete you use. We poured an extra large "deck" around the edge of the pool so our concrete cost was higher than it had to be.

During installation we encountered a couple of small issues (incorrect part that was shipped, etc.) but we were able to contact them on the phone within just a few minutes. The man we talked to on the phone (from poolwarehouse.com) was VERY knowledgable about pool installation at it was obvious that he had been a professional pool installer. He helped us find an easy solution rather than have to wait for the "correct" part to be shipped (which they were also very willing to do). We also contacted them a couple of times during installation with basic questions and they were 100% helpful every time.

The myth is that pools don't increase property values. An in-ground pool always increases the value of your home. BUT, you are correct that the house does not increase by the amount spent on building an in-ground pool (if you pay someone else to do it).

@@InstantAcres totally agree, and the fact of the matter is that if your potential buyer is a person who would love to have a pool, then they are more than likely willing to pay a bit extra for your home being that it has a pool....might not increase the value by how much you spent on the pool, but it definitely increases the value.

I spent 55k on a gunite pool 8 yrs ago. When I sold house just 4 yrs later the appraiser gave me 15k. I was sick over it. Hence why I am researching diy pools now. No way will I take that loss again. Did it help sell the house? Sure... But at a 40k loss to me.

Great job!

In order to get the final inspection we had to ensure the entire back yard was fenced AND we had to install a small alarm on our back door (basically a loud chime). So if a child goes out the back door everyone in the house knows about it.

The kids LOVE the pool. Seems like the older people tend to think more about gathering the towels and the sunscreen and the goggles and on and on and on BUT the kids just want to jump in and enjoy. Maybe you need some kids...

We have an above ground pool and we spend more time cleaning it out and turning the pump on and off than we do using it. We have 2 teens and both "want to get in the pool but it's too hot outside". I'll be suggesting the pool to them this winter when they're bored.

Great project, thanks for sharing! What did you calculate was your total out of pocket expenses, and could you break it down by category, ie pool kit, concrete, bobcat rental etc? Thanks

@InstantAcres

4 жыл бұрын

Hi Nathan, I believe the pool kit was about $20,000 and the concrete and other supplies (wire mesh, electrical, etc.) was about $5,000. So our total cost was about $25,000. The pool company quoted us a price of about $75,000 to build the same pool.

If we ever built another pool we would hire a "pro" to do the actual excavation. That's what took us the longest. In fact, we excavated too much which meant that we had to use about 2-3 times the mortar to build up the bottom to where it needed to be. Probably spent an extra full week on the project simply because we over excavated!
