    Angry Pool walls out of square

    Hi,

    We just began our 14'X28'X19' full L pool install. The pool company installed the walls and floor and its 7" out of square, this is an indoor pool with only 6' around the outside of the pool to the walls. In 14' on the ends the pool slants 3-4" with no way of squaring the house around it.

    The total cost of our pool install is around $33,000, and their only offering $1000 off the price for the mess up. To me thats quite low considering that its an indoor pool and your will see the angled walls with the house walls.

    What are your thoughts? I estimated about $9900 for them to remove it and redo it (not sure if they would get it right anyways if they do it again), is the $1000 acceptable or should I make them rip it out?

    heres my estimate on tear out cost, the pool is a 48" steel wall one with a liner. They pour concrete around the outside of the walls with angles coming off the walls going into the cement. I dont think they will be able to save the walls when they remove the concrete from them.

    Pool floor= at least 4.5 meters at $110/m = $500
    outside footing = 3.5 meters at $110/m = $385
    man hours 4 men at at least 8 hours a day x 3 days = 96 man hours at avg $15/h=$1440
    Excavation and pool removal at least 4 hours at $100/h = $400
    Wall price for a smaller pool from http://www.canadianpoolwholesalers.c...-onground.html but comparable theres no way your saving those original walls, or at least that i will accept the bent mess they come out in
    Grecian 48" Wall Pool Kit 15x29 $6999
    disposal of concrete from tear out $200
    Total for reinstall = $9924

    plus the time they lose being at my site again rather than somewhere else.

    Do these costs seem fair?
    Thanks
    Jason
