    Brush off the haters bud. Thats the most professional install I've ever seen. I wish I could find a contractor to do work like that. Well done 👏

    Love using Trex, all screwed from the underside so no holes or visible screws, highly flexible so you can pattern it to a degree, also I slotted it and installed frosted glass panels instead of railings, absolutely beautiful!!

    Gotta say one thing I enjoyed when we moved as a kid was building a new deck at out new home. I really can't wait to get a house and be able to put up a deck. I love the design on this.

    After all that, in retrospect I think it'd been easier to just dig the pool in the ground haha

    • @ozzygilliam9194
      @ozzygilliam9194 3 роки тому +6

      To be fair, no grass or dirt directly near it, it would be harder for debris on the ground to get in it.

      I would get a real inground pool first. Then make a deck around it. Who knows how long this pool holds.

    Not gonna lie. I watched the ferret run into the wall like 20 times and you falling into the hole about the same. Awesome project!

    I worked with a rented augur once to help drill holes for a new fence, except it didn't work when we tried to use it. So we took it back, and when we got at the rental shop and the worker tried it, it started working. So we took it back to the fence and once more it stopped working. So we did it by hand 😂
