    I’m just an old lady but here’s what I would have done: weld it all shut and cut your pipe fittings out and your skimmer intake hole. dig it out and drop it in the ground. Sandblasting it first. Then close cell insulation spray it, and maybe shoot a fiberglass layer over that. Then order a liner. No leaks and you have a solid base, backhoe it to level and the soil will hold it, you won’t have to worry it will break

    ive been saying this for years..why dont more people do like this. I made my dad one 10 year ago, and the total cost was around 4000 dollars... And that was with great pumps, filters and heating. Didnt do any digging, but cheapest big ass pool ive heard of.. It can even be a downstream pool with the pumps so that was a plus.

    That came out well. Nice work👍

    Great to see a video from you again. Miss the videos of your shop and the work going on. Pool is very interesting concept have not seen it before. Good luck and I hope all is well in the northlands.
  • Very nice. A lot of work but the results seem to be worth it. Would like to have seen some swimming in the pool though. Thanks for posting.
  • I was a pool guy, when you paint next time do dark blue or do dark blue tile line. With that light blue color it makes your pool water look green, dark blue makes your pool look crystal clear that’s why they have fake tile lines on even liner pools

    About to do one my self. Bought 2 and going to put them together (I'm a welder/fabricator) . Was hoping you could do another video showing all the leaks, flexing and bottom seam and bond between concrete and metal walls.
  • Pretty cool. I think I would do bolted metal in the center and then pour concrete 3 to 4 feet tall making a ramp. Of course a dirt mound in the center and did it as one concrete pour

    Would love an update video on this. I hope you got those leaks fixed and can still swim in this masterpiece!

    That's awesome. Put sides down the shallow end about a foot and plexiglass on the floor pump air you have under water area with air
