We begin to prep the yard for our new pool!!




OK, so here we go. We are starting to prepare the yard for our new pool. I have attached a few pics. The first is the manufacturers diagram of the pool we have chosen. I copied it off the Viking Pools website. ( I hope they don't mind !)

The next two pics are the view from our decks.We had an above ground pool, with the deck built around the pool. We sold it off, and what is left is just the curve of the remaining deck. We plan on trimming back the deck and crerating a straight edge, with stairs down to a concrete patio extending off the pool. Our contractor is Rochelle Remodeling here in Independence Township (Hackettstown)He is a fantastic builder and remodeler of homes, and I look forward to working with him.


The other pic is the approximate layout of the new pool. It's kind of hard to see in the pic, but I used a garden hose to create the outline so that we could get a better idea of where we wanted the pool to go. We still need to remove several smaller trees and bushes, as well as the old rock retaining wall for the above ground pool. We also need to remove the concrete pad formerly occupied by our old hot tub. That will involve a jack hammer and maybe it's own seperate blog :-)

Waiting on the permit packet to come back from the PB, hoping that processes moves quickly.

How has the permit process been? Let us know if you are happy with your pool designer. I want to do the same next year, and so do my neighbors.
