Seeing how easy the machinery made it look makes me want to cry. I just spend a day digging out a circle through clay soil with bricks/rocks/bramble roots etc. With a shovel and a fork... 👀

Me and my mom have the same problem. But we started using a tiller ans THE difference was AMAZING ... We still had to remove by shovel and rack but a tiller is complete game changer. Maybe try that

I admit, having access to a back hoe and ZT mower is nice, but renting a sod cutter will do the same job, even better to be honest. As long as you have some kind of motorized yard equipment 4 wheeler, small tractor mower, you get the same result. I have done the same before without some of these toy's... its just takes a lot more sweet equity :)

Did you have any issues with that sail shade on the playground in background sir?
@Yellowdogsworld
@Yellowdogsworld Жыл бұрын
The first one we put up lasted about 4 years up year around, The second one not much, maybe 2 years. So i think it all depends on who makes the sail, both were ordered from amazon.

@Yellowdogsworld Ай бұрын
I’m certain I used a 12 foot board, 18 = a 9 foot radius, that’s why there was 3 feet overlapping the center.

Some great ideas here man. Could you have just used the box blade to remove the grass? I have a six foot box blade but no backhoe. And be honest, how blown out were your shoulders after that?
@Yellowdogsworld
@Yellowdogsworld 2 жыл бұрын
With a bit of finesse, I think a box blade would do the work too. My shoulders were good and warmed up, fortunately, they held up.

What's the point of the sand, is it necessary?
@Yellowdogsworld
@Yellowdogsworld Жыл бұрын
I would not say it’s necessary, but it helps in getting as smooth and flat a bottom as possible. From what I’ve been told you don’t want it too heavy since sand tends to move easily.

@@Yellowdogsworld Yeah I dont know what I would expect from the manufacturer. Any issues are sure to be my fault anyway. Every video I've seen people use sand to level...Like EVERY single one...
@Yellowdogsworld
@Yellowdogsworld 3 жыл бұрын
Well, I think it's ok personally but one thing to remember is sand doesn't pack, this is why I used it as little as possible, for me, it's more for the fine finish than major media leveling if you use too much it's going to move around under the pool eventually. This may be why Intex doesn't support it "so to speak".

@@Yellowdogsworld Yea that's too far. The accent sounded more like you were from Texas. You can actually build an in ground pool for about 3 to 5k. Depends on how fancy you want the finishes and if you skim coat or just use a liner. The construction is just with simple cinder blocks. You have the hardest part already solved... digging the hole.
