I knew it was going to be a huge process and a lot of work to install an inground pool in the backyard.
My wife wanted to install a pool for years, but I came up with hundreds of reasons why it was absolutely not feasible.
When my wife finally had enough waiting, she decided to contact a couple of pool contractors on her own. I was right about the cost of the project. It was going to be a heap of money. After they broke ground, it took nearly two months to finish all of the pool. The rebar took the longest. One of the most important parts of installing a pool is adding the rebar. Rebar adds strength to the foundation of the inground swimming pool. Rebar is used to give support to the concrete part of the structure. The rebar part of the pool was installed by four guys that worked all day and all night. After that, we had to wait a couple of days to have the concrete put down. There was a backup on the order and that contractor did not want to start until he had everything that he needed to complete the project from Finish to end. I understood the reason why he wanted to wait. I was starting to grow anxious towards the end of the project. I hated seeing all of the rebar and the dug open ground on the property. Of course, now that the pool is done, it is one of my favorite parts of the whole house. I spend nearly every day outside by the pool.
