Our latest project....

We're getting a pool again, this time letting the company that we purchased from put it in for us.  So much easier that way!
The Above Ground Pool Company arrived at about 7:45 a.m. along with several machines (a bobcat, a truck full of sand, a trailer with all the equipment, and 4 men who set up and got started right away.  By 4:15pm they were done and on their way out the gate, with a promise to come back and do the finishing touches in a couple of days, after the pool had some water in it.
Here's all the photos from the day:

 Leveling the ground and removing any rock....

 Putting up the wall structure poles....

They dug a trench all around .....

 Then several inches of sand under the pool and up the sides....

 Now the walls go up....

 Packing the sand down.....

 Stretching the liner .....

 and the water is going in....
It will take several days to fill.  We're running for several hours, then letting the pump rest a while between fill times.

And now the decking begins....
John and Jeff went to buy wood today and the deck project starts tomorrow!
