Love the new direction your videos have taken, although I still miss your egg collecting days, you were " The Rambling Man".

When you are laying out the pool utility room, be sure to allow for supplies (Chlorine, filters, test kits, etc). You will want to store those items off the cement floor and have them at a comfortable height so you don't have to bend over to put cases in or take jugs out. Also, I maybe went over board on our pool we had, but I kept a log of all my tests, how much of what chemical I added with dates. It really helps to manage the pool and establish a schedule. Sure going to be a beautiful home when done. Thanks for sharing.

I like that you want a "spare". Sounds like me. I like having backup and expansion plans built-in. Nice to see your son giving you a hand. Have a great weekend!

Thank you for explaining all that! Appreciate you taking that time. I keep going back and forth if I want to follow in your footsteps of doing an ICF pool. But the complexity and awesomeness of your is making me shy away a little bit

You might want to consider having shutoff valves and unions on your pool service lines. It will allow you to close off any pipes in the event you need maintenance or have a leak without draining the system. The unions will allow for quick removal of pumps and filters without having to cut your pipes.

Shelf is important - so is a work bench. To mix or measure. One has to have a place to use the test kits and have what you need like folders, booklets, documents. To review in real time.

Perfection is a killer... Even when the job is complete you're going to be thinking of things you should have done!

I love seeing you working with your son on this big project. He's a lucky kid!

Thank you 👍

Geoff looking great! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

All coming together well bro. Safe travels. Ken.

Nice jobs, Geoff & Josh. Looking forward to the pour. I bet not as much as you!😁Thanks for sharing, Geoff.

Hey Bealy Good! The laser manufacturers don't make laser levels powerful enough to be seen in sunlight because it would only be a short time before a few hillbillies blinded themselves and sued the manufacturer out of existence. Ride ride ride!

I am so excited to see all of this poured i am ready!!

Looking good

My above ground pool is 20,000gal (18'x45') I have 2 pumps, 2 filters. I run the sand filter for several hours, then the DE filter kicks in. This collects most of the floaties in the easily cleaned sand filter, then the DE polishes the water.

Respect👍

Great timelapse music!

Keep up the good work😊 thanks for sharing...

Getting close.

Your explainations are easy to follow and appreciated.

Liked your quick explanation on the reason for and installation of the water dams for the pvc piping. Thanks as always, even the shorts are informative!

Hi Geoff. Try looking at the green lasers ( beep beeps). They are easier to see outside.

I'm getting excited for the poor day now. You guys have worked hard to get to this point in the build. I want to see Chris run the vibrator all day 😂.

Laminars is you say? Very cool. Had a pool with half a dozen of them. Could have hired out the pool as a therapy spa. Just a thing for sore back while floating on air mattress. The effect of LED lighting in pool is like unbelievably cool as well. Have fun there 👍

You absolutely lost me at the pump house then surprised as I watched longer it made sense. Gosh so much to think about - looking good though.

🧦 - Dobby approves of this video - 🧦 I love that you are building in redundancy now as it is way harder later. You defiantly use the rule of P's - Perfect Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance 😉

It’s all gobble de goop to me 🤪. But I’m sure you know what you are doing.👏👏

Keep doin` like you`re doin` - don`t rush anything. If you hurry and something is wrong it will take 3 times as long to fix it.

A thought from someone who used to have, and took care of five swimming pools but is down to only one... You cannot have enough valves, and you cannot have enough unions. Set up everything thinking about ease of replacement, because you will be replacing a lot over time. I have to disconnect our pool pump and take it inside the house every winter because a $1300 swimming pool pump cannot handle being winterized and left outside.

Sleeves, pipes, strongbacks and whalers. Getting white knuckle close to the big day!

I mean this in the nicest way but please keep that heat there!!!! I'd really like to enjoy spring before dealing with that!!! 😂😅 Thanks for sharing Sir!!

Geoff, only you could make a swimming pool so difficult,i hope the family appreciates it when it is done .I have found that once the girls reach teenage years they lose interest in the pool unless there are boys in it ?

Great video, but consider having the floor for when you drill the holes into the wall for your pipes?

you mentioned a possible extra pump. you might want to add a extra 3" supply from the upper pool.

Just watched NYA Millennial finish off an ICF pool. They were lining it. Quite interesting but so much smaller than yours.

At first glance I thought I was watching a letsdig18 video, your son looks like Robert.

Your going to have more in the pools than I paid for my house.

We have not had a 'have a belly good day' for sometime geoff

Geoff, is your pool going to be a saltwater pool. Everything looks great can't wait for the water.

From the thumbnail, I thought it was a horror short. In fact, you should do a gag horror short. Concrete blowout, DogDog, Duck Mafia. Would be hysterical!

Seems like a LOT of time consuming prepping compared to a standard build not to mention the cost factor. Can’t say I’d go this route. It’ll be interesting to hear your thoughts down the road when it’s all done. Best of luck!

Been following this project have a question; what is the strength (or the hydro-static pressure) of the un-supported (no back fill) walls adjacent to the pump room and the infinity edge? Then the three-inch hole for the bubbles I am beyond curious!! Not saying can't don't won't; a summer semester of statics was brutal but opens ta mind a bit to the hmmmmm...interesting--dawgh daawgh!!

the punch list is always long to get done, good progress 👍👍👍👍👍

Hey Dr. BG, Will there be a 4th of July pool party??? And fireworks?? Best of Luck with the pour!! Be safe. Jim

Is there any water heating in your pools Geof?.I am in rainy England and it wouldn't get much use here with the rotten summers we are having .

You can get a much more powerful laser that will show up in the mid day, but it just might cut off some body parts.

Without blowing the sides out

Don't forget the magnets for the electric meter. Oh they're digital now fudge !

Lord!! The family is gonna be grown and gone before this place is ready to be moved into. Will be a BIG place for two people and animals to look over the 5 acre muddy water whole.(don't think it is ever gonna clear up)🙄

Who sings the first song on your timelapse? I'm gonna fly

👋👋

One is nothing to this one too much. So now you can figure out if you want another one. lol

What was the surprise?

If it takes that long to set up , plus brasing , hmmm

👍👍🏊👍👍

Looks like you have this well planned. Let’s hear Duck Mafia talk crap now.

Are you an ICF Distributor?

Like to see you explain that one is none to your wife Geoff 😂😂

Who is singing the song im gonna fly.

Surprises me that you are going to pour concrete up to pool piping, thermal expansion and vibration is hard on pvc pipes I've seen them just fracture off flush with the concrete face. Back in the beginning of time we used to wrap them in Denso if they didn't have an oversize sleeve, the sleeve option was preferred for a myriad of reasons.

Plus can't vibrate

No footer

Tell me it ain't so, you haven't done the radii yet!

Get a red laser

Too many children is the result of too many cold winter nights or just night you were bored and wanted something fun to do......lol

RADIUS PROCRASTINATION. Put the pour off til next year.

Wear the glasses. I used to use them in the Keys where the sunlight could be brutal and no Laser could be seen without them. Laser strenth is limited by law as they can be used to blind pilots and Law enforcement officers and other emergency services workers. I sure miss the Duck Mafia.
