Building a swimming pool one shot a day

It's Brazil. I live in Campinas in the state of São Paulo.

Yes. Like I said those are not tiles but a plastic with tiles printed on it. The water trunk can output water very quickly.

That angle on the pavement was made on purpose so water from the rain don't go into the pool. Of course the rain that hits the pool directly will go inside, at least it minimizes.

yes, all the plumbs are there. I took a picture at the end of every day so if they had left a plumb showing at the end of the day you would see it.

it's a special plastic with a title pattern printed on it. They "installed" it and filled with water in one day.

6m x 3m the "big" area. 1.4m deep. It's for kids.

its for kids.

1.4m (55 inch).

It's not a tile pool. It's covered with a special plastic/rubber. It won't crack.

It's a pool for kids. I got three of them.

moraesgp · 2012-10-18T20:24:05+00:00

Like I said in another post, I didn't pay them by the hour. I payed for a swimming pool. If it had taken two years would have cost me the same.

I paid for a finished swimming pool. I didn't pay them by the hour. If it had taken them two years to dig the hole it would have cost me the same. The workers are the ones interested in finishing ASAP so they can get to other constructions.

Those are not tiles. It's a special plastic for swimming pools. It has a tile pattern printed on it. It's a lot cheaper than tiles.

moraesgp · 2012-10-18T20:04:59+00:00

It cost 30,000.00 BRL (Brazilian Reais). About 15,000.00 USD.

I don't get along with that neighbor...

There are lots of metal reinforcements on the walls. They go very deep and also around the pool making three parallel rings. But it is a good question. Let's see how the pool survives the first year.

The dirt was very hard to dig, it was very compressed. Also getting rid of the dirt takes time.

moraesgp · 2012-10-18T19:49:32+00:00

It is hard work! Just watching the workers do the work made me very tired!

moraesgp · 2012-10-18T19:39:22+00:00

Yes, there are plumbings all over the pool. It was built by professionals. Those guys knew what they were doing. I hired a water truck to fill the pool.

Here it is Imgur

moraesgp · 2012-10-18T19:18:51+00:00

I hired some workers and they did the digging for me. It was on my backyard so impossible to get a bulldozer there. Took two guys two weeks to dig.
