More updates to the house. With the temps up in the 90’s, it has been pretty overheating at the house. So I installed a custom cooling system… lol. Wife showed up Saturday night from shopping with my mother with an 18’ soft sided pool and gave me the “Can you put this up tomorrow”… yea, FML. And as most of you know I don’t do thing half-assed. These can just be thrown down over uneven grass, but I went all out and ripped out all the grass, tilled the ground to loosen it up, and then leveled it as much as possible (only had a 4ft level and no boards to extend it). End up after all was said and done only being about 1" difference… which is pretty damn good if I say so myself. Once it was filled (took almost 24 hours to fill) I went around and put down some basic play sand to provide a border around the pool where grass won’t grow and I’ll be able to keep the mower away from the pool. Thought 20 bags was going to be enough but not quite. Still need about another 20-30 bags to finish the border.

put some stone down around the pool so you dont track all the sand down. the Faux bluestone would make a nice border. ---

Everything we read says that the pool itself can act as the 48" barrier. So since the pool is over 48"barrier as long as we secure the ladder (remove it each time after use) it is within code. ---

Well I will be informing the insurance company and getting an exact measurement to the top of the pool to give them the required information. I could be completely wrong here, but I didn’t think a permit was required on these soft sided pools because no actual contruction, digging, etc is required. They are more similar to a kiddy pool than a true pool… ---
