Wheaton pool hole
What happens here
The video opens by showcasing a large excavated pit, indicating the initial phase of a swimming pool installation. The narrator provides context by describing the surrounding hardscaping, including existing stamped concrete that new pavers will connect to. For a DIY project, this step involves reviewing the pool plans, understanding the overall backyard design, and ensuring the excavation dimensions (depth, width, length) match the specifications for the chosen fiberglass pool. It also includes clearing any debris from the excavated area and ensuring access for materials.
Goal: Understand the pool project scope and prepare the excavated area.
