well, i got the base rail somewhat set today. Had a heck of a time squaring up the pool. I have learned one thing, just because i can operate a backhoe doesnt mean i can dig perfect hole. I added the extra foot all the way around like the instructions said to do, but i am still close to my cut out of my yard. All well. Also if your ground conditions are horrible like mine(hill, clay, etc, ect) then you better give a liitle extra or you will be claiming more ground by hand lol. Tommrrow will be the sand, and then the wall. The only downside that is im on a cistern. Got to haul the water myself, or have it hauled for me. At 60 dollars per 2000 thats something to consider for anyone in my shoes. I promise to get some pics up soon. got some great ones lol
