Best part of this project is this cute couple doing it together and having so much fun!

I bought an above ground pool a couple years ago but we didn’t use it because we bought a hot tub. My husband cleaned out the garage and took the box the pool was in and we offered it to our neighbors who have kids. The little girl waved at my husband and said….Hello neighbor! Thank you for the pool! I’m glad it got put to use.

One of the best investments I ever made was buying a pool. We were the only ones that had one, so of course everyone wanted to be at our house. We told my youngest daughter that was 5, that she had to help get the yard ready and remove the sod… my baby went out there in her rainboots, tank top and shorts dragging her Daddy’s shovel. She wanted that pool! Haha! She didn’t know we had installers coming to do everything. It was the cutest thing to watch her! 😉

The key to pool maintenance is Saltwater. Use a saltwater generator to chlorinate the pool. Sooooo much easier. Also a sand filter not that cartridge system. That size pool you would need about 80lbs of pool salt and the Intex Chlorine generator. Look into it, so much easier to keep clean and water crystal clear.

OK, I'll chime in . 1984, I'd been living in my new house for 3 years. It is in a small subdivision that was a cornfield. NO SHADE. I needed something. Found an old pool free if I removed. It took me about 6 hours to put everything in my puckup. Working afternoon shift I'd come home and dig until sunrise then sleep. Just befor heading into work I'd take a quick look at my effort in broad daylight. It took me 2 weeks to dig the hole and manicure the bottom and edge. I bought a 24 foot by 6 foot liner for it. So I dug 2-1/2 feet down 20 feet across and tapered the edge up to the Aluminum pool wall. I hand piled dirt up around the edge to get the height. The finished size was a full 7-1/2 feet deep across 20 feet at the bottom. I figured 20,000 gallons and it took my well 2 full days to fill. For many many years we used that pool. I took the best care using liquid chlorine and muriatic acid. I restored the otiginal diatomaceous earth filter and it worked flawlessly. I ran 10 gallons/ min thru 900 feet of Black plastic tube on the roof of my pole barn for solar heat. It provided +10°F to the temp. Research Cyanuric Acid to keep the chlorine from evaporating so quickly. A solar cover helped keep it warm. I found 85°F was my favorite temp and I maintained it pretty well. l hav a e mail at yah oo moparbens@ it . com if you'd care to converse. ben/ michigan

Putting a corner tarp or an umbrella somewhere so you can always choose to get out of the Sun but still be in the water that's called having your cake and eating it too 2😅❤

I'm glad my local pool is a couple of blocks away, I am too lazy to do this 😂.

Just drill a hole in the bottom of the lights 😬 I done it to mine because I’d got new ones, and they had holes in the bottom 😊 now they don’t fill with water 👍

As another super pregnant mama (I’m just a few weeks from my due date now!) a pool like that would be soooooo nice!!!! It will definitely help as you get bigger and baby weighs more on your back! Congratulations and prayers for a safe and happy healthy pregnancy! 🥰💕

We have the same pool, and we live in the Netherlands. It's nice to see y'all building a wall around it. We keep it as it is, while being jealous looking at your woodwork.

Pools are the best investment for fun and relaxing at home. Still trying to talk my daughter and her husband that I live with to get one so my two grand children can enjoy it as well as them. You won't be sorry.

Get a sand filter as soon as you can afford it - they are amazing for keeping it clean.

The baby in tummy is singing Elvis song I’m all Shook Up after the gravel compacter 😂

I don't recommend drinking anything other than water while in the pool. If you spill anything it will cause mould to start growing. Of which the only cure is to drain, scrub, and rinse. One or two drinks might not be an issue, but a pool party can turn into a nightmare days later. Especially if people were drinking beer.

i would have left the gravel, and put foam or rubber horse stall pads over top or even i really heavy duty top would have protected your pool from the gravel.. foam board and the rubber mats make a really good surface underneath the pool

Congrats on your new addition!! Please be careful lifting heavy things. I did the same with my first and ended up in hospital.

Mama Molly was right! A pool in Alabama during the hot months is a joy! Papa Dylan will enjoy it, too! 👍👏✨😍

Draining & Heating A Pool: I had an in-ground pool to empty out for repairs and paint, and later to heat up quickly for a child's 4th birthday party. I bought a submersible pump from Harbor Freight and ran garden hose from it out away from the house. After completing the repair and painting, I filled the pool and needed to heat it faster than just waiting on the Sun. I bought a roll of black plastic irrigation tubing. With the pump at the deep point of the pool and the tubing laid out around the concrete pool deck, I started the water recirculating five days before the party. That deep pool (9 feet at the deep end) was quite comfortably warm the morning of the party and all I had to do was remove the pump, coil up the tubing and put it all away. Total cost was under $75 in 2004.

Even if you had used a weed barrier, the wind blows seeds onto the gravel so the weeds will still grow.

New subscriber. Looking forward to your channel and journey. You don't even look 3 months pregnant God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻 ❤

To keep the pool clean, make it slightly brackish, and siphon vacuum the dirt off the bottom once or twice a week. It's better for your health too cuz chlorine is a carcinogen. To make it brackish you can just float a cattle salt lick in it every once in a while. Just keep it brackish enough so you don't see algae growing in it.

You are going to love having that thing. There's nothing like getting in at the end of a long, hot work day and cooling off. I'm working in my garage and taking a break to watch, and then I will jump into our pool to cook off too.

We had that pool turned into a salt water pool and bought a bigger pump. Built a deck all the way around it. We loved the whole area so much. Pool lasted for years the deck not so much. We were out every day all summer long. I guess around 10 years of use.

My husband wears tight tank tops underneath his long sleeve sun shirts. He says the sweat captured by it cools him off when the sweat was just dripping otherwise. He doesn't wear the tank top if he's not going to sweat, though.

Bwahaha you guys are adorable. I’m also pregnant, and we live in North Carolina… 1000% humidity and 1000°… I’m going to use this video to talk my husband into putting a pool in 😁

We also have this kind of pool. We were thinking about getting a pool, and I first thought about something really solid, rather big, with stairs into the pool, with a roof on top. I found a website with a configurator and ended up with a price tag of 30000+€😑 So we got this type of pool. Much cheaper, but does the job. If it lasts five years, then it really wasn't expensive. I got a pool cleaning robot, very convenient. The robot is just dropped in the pool, and runs for about an hour. If the battery is drained, it stops at a wall for easy pickup.

Great job, welcome to pool life. You will have fun and sleep better. Be sure to teach your child to swim. Enjoy and best wishes with your baby.

We just put foam on top of our level ground and it works wonderfully!

Excited to see what you all do with it! We love our Intex pool. Also congratulations on the baby you guys are going to make great parents!

You go girl❣️. I can hardly wait to see you floating in the pool with a cool drink! 😎🇨🇦

That was a lot of fun hehehe! The joy it brings to preggy Molly. Lovely to watch 😍

We’ve got one of these in our backyard for the last 4 years and its the best thing, ever. 💜 glad you guys got it up to enjoy!

We had 10 grand kids in ours every year! It is an awesome pool for the money

8:00 I own that same compactor and I love it. It’s easy to use, it’s not too heavy, it’s easy to move.

That was adorable 🙂 My wife and I , and kids, and grandkids have done this countless times :-) it's enjoyable to watch others do it too, brings back memories stretching out the bottom with all the kids inside etc 👍😎✊ PS Gramma made a happy face in the sand one time, the 'soot' settled in the depressions LOL

Great to see you back on my feed. What a fun way to catch up with you both. Congratulations on becoming soon to be parents.

The hubby looks very much like the male lead in Beautiful Creatures. AND has the accent! Also... we all learn as we go.... good job at taking it in stride and making sure you do it the right way for you.

A friend of mine just got a pool like this and invested a little bit more on one of them salt water filters. It sounds like a good alternative.

OK, I'm 40 seconds in...... and I haven't checked in with you guys in quite a while...... so you just brew my mind!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! You guys are going to be epic parents!! 😊 xXx

Great pool project and video. I'm so envious, it costs me $90/month to use only 3,000 gallons of water for 2 people, this would cost me about $60 to fill. Wells are definitely the way to go. Water is all around us, there is no scarcity, there is only control.

I built a wooden frame around basically the same pool. add 3in of foam board insulation under and around it, and a heater from inflatable hot tub

You could have used the pool filter to drain the pool, it is afterall a water pump. It's how I drained the water from our pool when we moved.

I know if feels good to get stuff done, but be careful with the lifting, pushing and big stuff. Take it easy ❤️

Get a small sand filter. It will keep it clear and so much easier to take care of. Enjoy

I so much enjoyed this video! It also gives me hope for installing a pool of my own.

We had a pool in the Florida panhandle a bunch of years ago, one thing I struggled to do was keep the water cool in all that sun. I hope you enjoy it for years to come and please remember safety for that baby after turning into a toddler!

You guys are a lot of fun. From Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada

We got the same pool, but we got a sand filter and we got reusable balls instead of sand and it works so better than sand.

Can’t wait to see the finish!!

Just an adorable couple! Great editing!

God Bless your family🙏

They do sell padding for under the pool to not only protect the liner but stop creatures from burrowing

Omg this is so cute I love this

Pure physics. 1) The depth of the pool isn't much so the pressure is low. 2) The hose is small diameter and long. Both cause resistance to flow. Combine low pressure with high resistance and you get a LONG time for the water to just trickle out.

You two are a great team! 🤙

Oh my goodness, you two are so dang CUTE!❤ New sub here- excited to see your pool build adventure, and future projects!🤗

Congratulations on the baby.

Finally the pool ! I’m so happy for the both of you .. pools are such a great thing to have . Hope you are in the light of god and god bless the both of you.. Happy first day of July!

We put heavy duty rubber under ours which we had to place over stones. Worked a treat.

I just found ya'll channel and LOVE it. Going back to watch more and look forward to more 🥰

Great video as always, that pool is going to be so nice on those hot days enjoy

Have the same pool. Works great.

Man, that was a lot of work! Good for you guys

Just found your channel. Thanks for sharing. We to are in South Alabama!

You two are adorable…so fun to watch!!

$230 for the pool plus the gravel, sand, membrane and the weed control sheet? So maybe $500 or more? Still worth it!!! ❤️❤️

Easiest way to do that kind of staining is to buy a cheap pump up garden spayer - put the stain in - pump it up and Bob's your uncle. They're cheap enough to you don't even have to clean the up after you done. Just throw them away . . .

We are on our 3rd above ground pool starting small to the largest you can get and converting to saltwater system will by far help with EVERYTHING no shocking with chemicals after a hard rain etc and no it is not like the ocean people who have been in are shocked they can’t tell it’s saltwater. Trust you will not regret it.😊 Not a big project either, you have done way more complicated projects! Coming from a Florida family, we are not as capable, lol.😅

I think moving the rock was silly. Foamboard is what the kids use these days. Easy to level and inexpensive, and will be great soft floor under pool

Warms my heart to see individuals taking responsibility and improving what they can. As opposed to crying and demanding that someone else change their life.

I have a intex pool. Do yourself a favor and get a bigger pump. At least a 3/4 horse which is like 3000 gph. It's over kill but worth it

Ya'll need to put some type of shade cover over it. The water will really turn warm.

Nice pool guys!! I love it!!!

“I’m gonna be smiling like her in a few hours” 🤣

He is slapping the pools butt!!

We have weeds in Texas known as nut grass. They will grow right up underneath your pool lining and poke a hole right through it. I know this from personal experience.

I have the same pool and we use the water filter pump to drain my pool. In a few hours

First video I have seen of yours. I liked it & now a subscriber.

Love it!! Ya'll made me laugh!!

183K subscribers, plus 1 love that stain color. could hardly tell that you even moved the pool lol. you should get a bigger pool. {you will one day} and invest in a bigger, sand pool pump. enjoy..

👍👍👍👍👍🫵2🪨 Can’t wait to see the next video.

You'll love it .had mine for 3 years and it'd perfect. You will probably need a bigger pump and buy two chemical clothes and chlorine tables and water softer tables is all you need

Subscribed! Totally invested now😂😂

Center the pool!!!°

Very nice.... Ultraviolet light is the worst thing for any plastic liner. Build a deck around it to protect the sides and cover it when not in use. It'll save water, keep dirt out of it, and keep the UV light from ruining your investment.

She did all the heavy work

Would look awsome if you put some decking steps around the front sides and corner and some decking from the back corner up to both sides of the fence with some room for sitting in deck chairs, to cover all it in.

You guys are adorable!

Rectangle pool is the only way to go minimum 52 inch though and its way easier to clean and swim in.

I hope you got a good pool cover to keep the water temperature controlled.

Just like a boat. The two best days are the day you buy it and the day you either sell it. Or rip the green cesspool from your backyard and get rid of it!

lol I have to have a pool! Really enjoyed your video and have subscribed :)

The way busted out laughing.... well im go geab a snack.😂😂😂❤

I had a neighbor who put in a pool like that and eventually regretted not putting it on a cement or hard flat surface. What happened is over time stepping in it left imprints of feet, which filled with dirt. And cleaning that was either a nightmare or impossible.

lets get it guys

🙋🏽‍♂️ Definitely go with salt system. Mine lasted 12 years. 💁🏽‍♂️ Wipe the METAL DOWN with WD-40 each year. NO RUST. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Definitely try some different things before you finalize and add water. You really want to be able to get in and out all the way around and that spot is big enough to have the pool and a hot tub eventually good luck.

Do yourself a favour and buy a sand filter according to the size of your pool. Just a little tip from an pool owner in austria.. ;-)

Nice Good ideas 💡
