Next day beautifully designed body of water. 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.

captnconcrete Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) https://www.tripadvisor.com/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g38070-d2224997-i140690078-Grand_Falls_Casino_and_Golf_Resort-Larchwood_Iowa.html 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.
