Now I know why we haven’t 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.

Yay!! A pool!!! Best thing ever for the whole family!! And…. just at the right time! Your boys will remember this forever❣️

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.

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.

Nothing beats the 1st swim after the pools 1st fill up. The water feels soo much cleaner to me

Absolutely wonderful…think about how far everything has come in a year!

Once you get that deck done, you’ll be so pleased you did one.

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!

That pool looks good but what a lot of hard work. I installed one of those pools for a friend and used concrete pavers (1 foot square) on some tamped level sand. I also used some carper underlay on top of the pavers and covered the pavers completely, so no dirty feet in the pool. The underlay can be vacuumed every so often to keep it clean. Thanks for posting

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.

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.

[johnfoley]

Sam, good to see you guys again. Great job on the pool. Kids love the water and keeps the family together. Thank you.

So glad to see your video up today. I had been missing you and wondered if everything was ok. Now I’m not only relieved to see that you’re fine, but tickled pink to see what you’ve been up to. Your summer just got to be more fun. You all, including the boys, have worked so hard on your new place. Now it’s time for some fun. Don’t you just love flat land!

[janetkoball]

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.

[mindi.m]

What an awesome addition to the homestead! You definitely couldn't have had a pool in NC! The boys look comfortable in the water. Stay safe everyone!

I really enjoyed this episode! Interesting, informative and educational! Sam and Angela, I really enjoy the fact y’all don’t do “click bait” videos. You’re 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 hey… it’s changeable! Love the Homestead progress, and hope y’all have many enjoyable hours in the new pool!
