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...
