My neighbor built a deck just like you did. It looked beautiful. I had just bought a volvo station wagon and drove it to the back of my house. My next-door neighbor immediately called code Enforcement on me. I guess she didnt like the volvo and tried to get it off her sight. She used to walk on my property to get to her friend with the pool. Will code enforcement came and told me to move the volvo. I put it in the garage. Due to neighbor calling code enforcement , the enforcement decided to check out the pool deck. It had no permits for the deck work. The neighbor had to tear it down. Due to the other neighbor's complaints.

@@ChadsCustomCreations I dont know if thats what theyre saying, but I might be wrong. Lets say their right door neighbor makes the pool, OP has the Volvo, and their left door neighbor complains, so when they complain, enforcements go over to OPs house, but then see their right door neighbors deck. So even though the left door neighbor complained about OP, their right door neighbor gets punished for their deck, so the right door neighbor didnt do anything bad.

We bought a pool from Rec warehouse 19 years ago. We sunk our pool used railroads ties to hold frame wall up, for extra security . Had our ground dug up'ed. Our pool looks like a in ground pool. Built a deck all the way around pool. Had concrete poured for extra patio for lounge chair, grill, and patio table. We also upgrade liner and pump. Bought wedding cake steps. We love our set up. Cost less than 5k. I can't believe we had it 19 years, time flys by. kids are all grown up. Grand baby enjoys it now. I love getting in pool after yard work and gardening. Have fun making memories in your pool. Yours looks great! You did an amazing job. Go dawgs! Ga resident. Codeword, Cannonball.

My dad did a lot of work like you did to build us a pool. It was an in-ground pool so he did contract that out, but I remember him hauling and building a huge cement brick wall, a huge deck including a “bar” and doing so much work. As kids, we lived in the pool and always had friends and family over. It wasn’t until years later when I was going through pictures that I realized and truly appreciated all his hard work (he did it over the winter, so he didn’t have it a tough as you). It really was a labor of love. My love of swimming has kept me in shape all these years ! I think my favorite part was seeing everyone all piled in a raft watching a movie! I think you did an exceptional job, you know where you did things that might (just might) fail in the future and no doubt have the passion and skill set to fix anything if it comes up. I would say even though you knowingly didn’t do a couple things to code, your ingenuity, and attention to detail is better work than most “professional” builders. Congrats on your pool and your great video!!

Well done. Too cold here in the UK to make a pool worthwhile but this is very nice. The screen at the end where the children are watching whilst in the pool in the floating paddling pool is great. It IS warm enough today that my son and friend are watching on our big roll down screen inside which I do recommend to people - don't have to turn a room into a permanent cinema room but the screen can go up or down when needed with a projector. IN a way this project reminds me of my father as a 30 something father of 3. He by his own hands completely converted our top attic floor which had pull down stairs to an amazing teenager/child's play room / floor not just with carpets, ceiling etc but also made a secret passage round the side including somewhere you could look through on a picture of a cat through the eyes. I am now a grandmother of 4 but I still remember all his hard work to give us that space.

First let me say that your kids cannonball at the end was great. Now to the comment part. Loved it and learned a few things that we will incorporate into our new pool and deck project. We also opt for an above ground pool as we live in what is known as "the low country". Our water table is so high that we do not even have to dig to hit water. After a good rain our lawnmower sinks so far into the ground that it just gets stuck and after a heavy rain we do not even think about mowing for at least a week. All that being said we had a friend who's email begins with footerman come for a visit early on and in exchange for free room and board for himself, wife, and grandkids, and camping in the back yard for his crew plus a couple of day end beer runs for the guys, they poured us a nice level concrete slab for only the cost of the materials. What a deal. then we put up our pool and built our first real deck ever ourselves. We did not know about certain things like sealing the cut ends of the boards or that tape stuff that you put under the decking. My husband did most of the manual labor, but I helped. The pool itself was a wedding gift for me from him as he knows I love being in the water more than being out of it. He bought our pool from Walmart as we needed to make sure we had enough money to make ends meet in not only a first house, but also moving to a whole new state to start our lives together. Our pool and deck lasted 12 years, but alas is now no more. the legs rusted and fell apart ripping the third liner to shreds and it is no longer safe to walk on the deck. But we do have plans to start fresh with a new one and as we have learned a few things from your videos the new one should last us at least as long as the first one and as we are not young people that should be long enough. We do plan to use manufactured wood this time as our very wet environment just doesn't fit well with real wood and we are not getting any younger and don't have the time or knowledge for the constant maintenance that real wood requires. We want to enjoy our senior years not spend them maintaining our pool.

I am not a profesional builder ,I am a woman who does things like repairs on my roof,bathroom tiles ,connect water heaters etc etc,so I don’t have a professional opinion,but common sense tells me you did a great job for your kids and yourself ,maybe concrete footers is a good idea ,time will tell how long the deck last ,but if the pool last 10 years you have succeed ,by then your kids will be grown ups and you will be looking to another project ,it was a monster job tree trunk ,leveling and building the new pool deck ,you should be so proud I am sure your family appreciate all your efforts ,blessings to you and the family ! To me it looks just great !

CANNONBALL!!!! It’s a great job you’ve done there, sir. You’ve inspired me to get started on ours. it’s funny. I had the same idea for your sliding cover as we have a smallish deck and need all the usable area we can get. It’s funny all the trolls that have negative comments. I’m sure majority of them wouldn’t even know how to use a hammer to drive in the nail.

I think three things would make it super classy. A skirt board around the edge of the pool that creates a finished edge that hides the top of the pool liner and bars showing. Secondly, and much harder, a set of stairs that look built-in instead of the plastic ones. Maybe out of teak wood or something that could be wrapped in a pool liner like material. And they should be at one end with returns. And the coup de gras would be under water stools for the old folks to soak and drink!

What a nice project. I think it looks great! My only worry while watching this was the pool cover (for safety reasons) and that is something you plan to change in the future. I love this video though, you remind me of my dad when I was young. He did something like this for us, not as involved. We lived in the desert in CA so I don't think he had as many obstacles with the ground as you had. I'm going to share this with my parents and my sisters, I think they all will enjoy watching your video.
