Now I know why we havenāt seen you for awhile. So exciting for you, Angela and the boys.
-
Years ago my parents got an above grade swimming pool. My dad supervised as all the girls built the base for it to sit on, and the boys built the privacy fence.
-
Love your project! When we had an above ground pool we used a big dish pan to rinse our feet off before going up the ladder kept the pool cleaner.
-
Place a small kiddy pool at the base of your ladder so that people can rinse their feet before getting into the pool
-
Yay!! A pool!!! Best thing ever for the whole family!! Andā¦. just at the right time! Your boys will remember this foreverā£ļø
-
Nice pool! When we installed our pool, we ran a water line and installed a faucet next to the ladder, so people could clean their feet before entering. It was a great help in keeping the pool clean. Also, because of county code, we had to put a fence around it for safety.
-
What a great activity for the whole family, especially your boys. When I was young, my dad and one of my sisters hand dug a pool and lined it thick with cement. It wasn't as big or deep but we all loved it. I'm sure you have strick rules for the boys. Have fun.
-
Awesome pool!! As always, very informational! Them boys are growing like weeds in your favorite flower bed!!š Have an awesomely blessed weekend.
-
Absolutely wonderfulā¦think about how far everything has come in a year!
-
I put an above ground pool in for my young children 20+ years ago. One one the best purchases I ever made. I hope you all enjoy yours as much as we did ours.
-
Don't know whether someone else has mentioned this, but if you are worried about the sand base being eroded from the water splashing/going over the top of the pool, suggest you get a bigger tarp that will extend over the edges of the base foundation that way it would allow the water will run off over the tarp that extends beyond the edges of the base foundation and not onto the sand base but run onto the ground around the pool.

My hubby built a pool base around our 24 foot above ground pool many years ago. Our yard had a pretty good slope and I think the back was about 4 feet higher. It took awhile but we enjoyed that pool for many years. He also built a big deck around it. We had 4 kids so it got plenty of use. We covered it in the winter.
-
Above ground pools are great for kids. In the sixties my little brother and I got a above ground pool,so much fun! Your kids will never forget getting the pool.
-
Nothing beats the 1st swim after the pools 1st fill up. The water feels soo much cleaner to me
-
Sounds like the filter is quiet! Yay! I used to drive by a pool like this and it was up about 10 years! Not bad, I'd say. So excited for the boys!
-
You guys will love this! We bought a pair of steps that had wide steps to go down In the pool....loved them. I hated the stair steps that came with the pool. We built a deck around ours and enjoyed just sitting out in the late evenings. Enjoy!
-
Sam, good to see you guys again. Great job on the pool. Kids love the water and keeps the family together. Thank you.
-
Great addition for summer for the whole family...I would build a fence in front of the hoses, a tad shorter than the pool, with a wide access door that opens outwards for changing the filters...a cover is a good idea too especially if you keep it out during winter and to stop wild life taking a midnight dip...ššš¬š§
-
WOW! You absolutely did this well. I love your thoughts from A-Z. I am so jealous and you will get so much enjoyment out of it. What a great addition to your beautiful homestead.
-
I really enjoyed this episode! Interesting, informative and educational! Sam and Angela, I really enjoy the fact yāall donāt do āclick baitā videos. Youāre always a good home and Family show. Kudos on the new pool build, yes, the tweaked non squared base of the pool would bug me too, but heyā¦ itās changeable! Love the Homestead progress, and hope yāall have many enjoyable hours in the new pool!
