Time Lapse Theater: Show Me Pools backyard project

Chris Lynch turned me on to this St louis area backyard project, the pool that cannot be named:

After hand digging, hand mixing over 650 bags of concrete, hand stacking aforementioned concrete, 63 feet of tile, and 15 different types of coping; the pool that cannot be named has reached completion.

And Actually, that was almost eight months ago. I had this labeled saved as a draft and eventually forgot about it. There are three videos, in order of completion from Show Me Pools, and the middle one is a time lapse movie.

UPDATE: Added another video with skate footage, which is slow motion for some reason. GVK must have been the filmer… Thanks to Tim Jamison.

  1. We have to figure out a better way to do that tile, the sawing kind of sucked.

    I left a piece of board under the top plate to make a groove for the tile work, but that was a flat wall too, seems a few strips of thinner masonite stacked together would do the same trick through the curved walls?

  3. Good times….

  4. Wow now that’s impressive and done with a hand mixer,A plus

    650 bags of concrete is somewhat affordable! this bowl cost less than some of that crap on ebay watch!

    especially when you can throw down 12 bags for under 40$ baby steps 🙂
