It's really very easy.
First, go buy a ton of #3 rebar, which we now know is 3/8" in diameter.
Post up when you have that on site and I'll tell you what to do next.

[Raiden]

[Bill]

Done....just so happens I got 2 tons behind the barn.

I watched them build mine. It looks pretty easy to me. The hardest part looked like the digging, but every single part of it can be sub contracted out. I seriously thought about getting some young bright kid to see if he would start a pool company and let me finance it. It looks easy enough for somebody that has the selling power to get out there and make it happen.

I just know I'll have to put in another pool...with my grade lines at the new homestead I might have to just build another multi level deck and put in another above grounder like I have now.
