leveling ground for pool

[milo taliaferro]

chimed in because it sounded a little like you were going to build the pool on sand - that could be disastrous.

nope, he's just getting the ground level before we put the sand in .. thanks BigDave!

Building up is tricky, digging down is easy. Sand is only for the very top, needs to be contained, and should be leveled wet, not dry, so it compacts. Renting a compactor for the site is a good idea, too. There's the jumping-jack type and the lawnmower type. Both work well.
