well .. we started that project back in last October so  very slow going magic trick .lol price on first pool i posted is around 130k us $ an the land scapper is gonna sock em for that much also on the landscaping.

 

ive got a ton of pic of stuff ive done over the yrs .. i even posted some where in here a 4 mile walking trail and wall and park i built down town ..took 2 yrs .was blast! if it is a intrest to sum maybe i post more an more. there is alot of work that goes into building a pool . u have to know several trades to get her dun from start to finish. first u have to be a excavater. dirt mover then u have to be a framer / carpenter to frame it  then u gotta know concrete cuz we shot pools with special shotcrete just for pools. then u must know  how to do tile . then u must know plaster. pool plaster. then u must be a plumber  and a electrician. alot goes into a pool .and i love building em.

 

ive built few fountains and  we do water falls and fake rocks also.

depends what we are doing .. usually 2 man crew or less doing tile work.  same for plumbing . 4 to 5 men to set and shoot it . which is pouring it. we use shotcrete. 

takes all of use to plaster plastering is hard core u dont stop til ur done . like today i plastered a pool i worked 12 hrs straight thru stopped once to piss. and yesmates rates could apply. that pools up top i posted . me an one guy been working on capstone . and the plumbing. so only time we all there is for plaster and shotcrete!. it takes along time to do a pool i wouldnt want to do a concrete one in a week.nor could i.  but a vinyl liner . could be done in 4 days. 

 

where i work .MC&R pools and spas.

 

we do everything old school way. makes it harder work but looks better in the end. we mix all plaster in a mixer and place it by hand. so deep pools suck ass! with the times companies have a plaster sprayer and it makes it 3 times easier. but my boss wont buy one. so we use buckets and wheel barrows. and lots of elbow grease!

did a replaster at grandfalls casino in iowa . last 2 days . we layed down 7 pallets of plaster . there i do belive 42 bag per pallet.  80 pounds a piece all done by hand so that would be equal to about three average sized pools. which average size is 16 by 36 .im sore hands are swollen  got nice plaster burn on my left knee.  and my lower left back is all messed up .an i been doing this shit like 24 yrs or so.omfg.

 

if your curious look up grandfalls casino outdoor pool thats what i had to replaster.

this is pool we replastered. it was a dam nightmare . guys who built it sucked ass. we had to do alot of repair work to  get her ready for a replaster. seems we spend half our time fixing this companies pools.  one i did earlier this yr that they built we had to replaster it  i could peel off plaster with my fingers  thats how bad they did.

Well said. 

 

@captnconcrete I send you pics for my basement, share some ideas. I want to finish it myself. It would be too expensive for me to call you here!
