Above-ground pools
If one buys a new above-ground pool, does it come with instructions?
Stupid question, I know, but for the record. Detailed instructions? Can one disassemble an above ground pool and reassemble it somewhere else? |

Case on Pipple's court, women hired guy to install used above ground pool, which they paid 1000 dollars for. Installation was more expensive than they expected. He asked for 1500 and agree he would get 1200 plus a free month's rent on their driveway and part of the garage (250 total)(that's how he met them, he saw their ad to rent the driveway.) He said he had done several pools, or maybe many. He only worked a couple hours a day and never finished. One time they came home and found his 12 and 8 year old daughters in their back yard, but he wasn't there. The 30 year old son was inside, but didnt' know the girls were there. They had only known each other 2 weeks at the time. Apparently when he started, the installation had been somewhat begun. At the trial he insisted they told him it was a new pool, but if it were a new pool, why didn't he want to read the instructions? Even if he was too arrogant to read them, he shouldn't have noticed they weren't there. (Well unless they did have them, but they'd be pretty beat up if they'd been used 1.2 times. Nothing was mentioned about instructions.) And he insisted they told him it was a new pool and that one could never disassemble and reassemble an above ground pool. I found that a little hard to believe. This seems like the weakest part of his case. And where was the original box all the parts came in? The first owners could have saved the instructions and relayed them, but not the original box. He also claimed the ground wasn't level, varying 6" in 30 feet, but that he could not tell because the pool was already there. He said when he did the whole job, he leveled the ground before installing. Judge asked who woudl do this, and he hesitated and said a landscaper. (Apparently he eventually figured out it wasn't level, according to him, because he brought it up in court. He implied that one cannot tell when the pool is already sitting on the ground, but can't one use (a helper and) a garden hose with some clear plastic tubes at each end. That will go around the pool.) Actually, isn't the liner installed last? I"ve never done this or had it done, but it seems to me unless the whole job was just about done, with the liner in, it would be empty inside the walls and he could check if the ground was level. And he insisted that they said the ground had been professionally leveled. I don't think they've responded to that, yet. I haven't finished watching the show yet. |

Bolts will be rusted and liner may need to be replaced. I know all the tv court shows are edited to fit in the time they want each case to use, but so far he hasn't complained about rust or leaks. He claims they said it was new. Maybe he will say he found rust or a tear and complained then. I'll let you all know later today. |

The main problem would be getting the old one apart and you might end up with missing hardware if they were careless. I put my sister's pool together and it took pretty much a whole day. With a screw gun it would be a lot faster tho. It is just a big erector set. I spent another 2 days building the deck around about a third of it. We did have my niece's hubby using a machine to prep the site and remove an old septic tank, back fill and level. Then we put a ****load of vermiculite under the liner, dropped the liner in and turned on the hose. It was really all done in one 4 day weekend tho, from grass on the ground to splash down. |

You might need a bobcat to create a level space. I had 2 24ft round pools installed, it made sense to hire it out. They had a vacuum to draw the liner flat before filling but I've put in liners pretty well without the vacuum. Can one disassemble an above ground pool and reassemble it somewhere else? After a year or so the liner turns brittle. You'll need a new one each time you move the pool, the old one will come apart on re-use. -- Dan Espen |

And the guy is usually too lazy to look online for at least some videos and other info either, so they just wing it and find out what you know the hard way. Like from what Micky posted, the guy didn't even have the sense to make sure the ground was level before he started. And then of course these cheapskates can't understand why they have a less than perfect result. |

That might have been the guy's problem, but when I watched the rest of the episode, the focus of the story changed. He only showed up a couple hours a day and the woman texted the number he gave her and got no answer. The second time, she got a rude answer, so she was slightly rude in return. It turned out it was his wife and he got all upset that his 5-month pregnant wife was being rude to, and even in court, days or weeks later, he practically had a melt-down, and the judge that wasn't enough to cancel the contract, esp. since the wife was rude first, and gave the plaintiff back half or all the money she'd paid, I forget which. Suprisignly, in the hall after the trial, he admitted he got too upset. The wife didn't seem upset at all, nor will a little rudeness ruin most pregnancies. I think they put the most interesting case first, of the 3 per hour. |
