Thanked: 4207Saving some coin by doing the pool line plumbing replacements myself.
Figure it prudent to replace the 50 year old lines now, before all the new stone is laid.
Hard to swing a pipe wrench in such a narrow trench, but who wants to dig more than they have too?

Thanked: 4207Doesn't look like much, but the grading and compacting is done, weeping beds routed and ready for stone.

Looks like some good progress actually. The prep work takes a while, but if not done right the rest is screwed

Thanked: 4207Retaining wall and stairs in place. Things moving along.
Rain is less of an issue now that the drainage is improved.
Pool is still filthy, due to the rain and the digging.
