🏡 Better Homes Aquatic crew assemble: All things pool...

[DEEZUZ]

Did a menards build a deck project.

It's waaaayy fucking over kill for beams and support but I printed the design and am sticking to it. So far the only thing I changed was the 12x48 columns. I cut them bitches in half and only dug 24-30 inches so we'll use half the concrete. Not worried one bit about strength or frost line.

8x8 deck costs $2k nowadays. But this is absolutely necessary. That chinsy ladder is a accident waiting to happen.

Yes I hand dug all those posts. Ain't nobody got time to rent a tool plus that dollars vs muscle. I got plenty of muscle to use and a ton of fat to burn.

I've got 3 guys with diggers. 2 that attach to skid steers..

I'm just about done with favors though.

I didn't want to call in any favors. All those guys have shit that needs fixed and I really want the cash right now.

I'm nervous about that ladder too. I'm really hoping to have water in our pool by the weekend when some friends come over to visit. It might be cold, but my buddy is quite large. I don't see that included ladder holding a lick over 250lbs.

God damn, that price is a hard pill to swallow, but I 100% get it. If and when lumber prices come down, do you plan to expand the size of the deck?

You might regret only going 24-30" down. That's what the douchebags did on my deck and every winter it fucking heaves.

We have 4 phases of the deck to build. Maybe later I will have a final design plan but roughly here is how it goes.

Phase 1 is what you see. It provides a basic entrance and exit to pool plus a little bit of space for people to sun and dip their feet and talk while others are in the pool. That setup is the south west corner of pool.

Phase 2 is a ground level deck on the north side of pool between fence and pool. It'll run full pool length and Will have built in bar and stools for people to hang out.

Phase 3 is a deck over the west end that covers the filter. This will feature a wrap around style stair that faces the house so we can walk out from back yard directly onto ground level deck then onto aerial deck and into pool.

Phase 4 is to complete the south side wrap around aerial deck.

We've had our fence posts in the ground for 7 years here at same depth and not an issue

 

[DEEZUZ]

Our ground is very different. It's a soft very light dirt then a darker dirt then sand.

 

[DEEZUZ]

I seriously pull like 6 different shades of earth while. Digging a hole.
