I am acting as the contractor. I subbed out the dig, steel and shoot.
(~$6000)
I have a "dirt guy" who hauled away the dirt and backfilled the hole for
the
value of the dirt.
I did the plumbing and electric and I have a plaster guy coming to apply
the
interior finish (~$2000).
I have another two - three thousand in hardware, concrete and "home depot"
type
bills.
The most expensive thing is the screen cage (~$8500) but you may not be
doing
that.

If I stay on schedule I will be from permit to water in the pool in 32
days
(started 5/26) but that is an unusually fast install. So far all of my
subs
have been on time and on schedule. That is unusual too.

I don't have the skill nor the patience to act as my own prime. I am just
trying to learn the basics so I can be educated when I talk with a
contractor.
