Lets get this build going!!! Come on people taxes are coming up surely you can spare a few dollars to kick this project off right. Break out the old wallet and pull the dust saver off of it and fork out a few bills. Your kids will thank you when they see you have left them alone for a few hours to go read the thread again.

I wish the timing had been a little different on when you decided to go to a liner. As I recently moved and at my old house we had a water garden that was in place for only 1 season and we used a .45 mil 20 x 25 foot pond liner. When we moved we just filled in dirt on top of it, but I don't think the new owners would look kindly on me going to exhume it :-(

I definitely would have sent it down to you if the timing had worked out better.

They use pure cement in some pools. Keeps it smooth.
At the risk of prolonging this totally unrelated (and somewhat pedantic) side debate, can you back that up with anything?

Like I said before; almost nothing is built using straight cement without aggregates, additives, or reinforcements - including pools. Maybe you're thinking of the grouting or plaster applied to the inside of a concrete pool form, but even that isn't just cement, it's a special mortar or 'plaster'. Concrete swimming pools are commonly built with steel reinforced concrete, either poured into forms, or sprayed into a negative form (shotcrete). Reinforced concrete can be polished to a mirror finish, so there is no concern with keeping it smooth.

lots of companies will build the pools out of cinder blocks or concrete then apply a layer of cement. Keeps it perfectly smooth and looks nicer.

I appreciate the thought. Thanks.
