Looking for some feedback, new build

Well, got 92-95% of the pool area done... some areas were about 6" of crushed limestone fill.

I will say, the pipes for the pool seem like they are set in concrete the stuff has compacted so solid.

Tomorrow morning I will finish off the last little area, pull the forms, fill them in, compact them, then go around and add a little crushed limestone on top of everything (like 1/4 to 3/8 inch total), level it all, then go hrough and hand compact it all and I should be set to put the pool up...

I did notice I totally forgot to run any sort of wiring for a set of pool lights, but I figure I can dig a channel in the crushed limestone and run the cable in there... I will be using low-voltage pool lighting in any case, so I won't have any real depth issues to worry about...

Also bonding the pool all aorund it should go pretty easy considering I will just need to dig a 2" deep channel in the crushed limestone for the bonding wire to sit in since I will have over 2" of pavers sitting above that point as a walkway around the pool...

Well, turns out I got the entire pool area prepped today... Got it leveled out, reskreeded, tamped, pulled the forms, filled and tamped those, etc, etc...

Here is the pool area in all it's glory, ready for a pool to be built:



Now, to see if I can get a pool up and start being filled within 12 hours... Sounds like a lot of time, but I have to install a main drain, get the foam bottom cut, apply the foam to the walls, etc...

I am going not going to worry about the plumbing from the piping to the skimmer/return/main drain until after the pool is up and being filled...
