Just Add Water.
So you wanna build a pool in your back yard that is a copy of one of your favorites? Follow these steps: 1. Save at least 50K (there are always hidden costs). 2. Trace and measure the templates of your favorite pool (o.g. pool pictured above). 3. Hire a competent crew who has done this type of work before.
4. Dig a hole.
5. Lay some concrete. Work fast but pay attention to the details.
6. Smooth it out. Blend them seems - no kinks in the walls, you only got one shot. Stay sharp - no drinking beer til your done.
7. Let the sun cure the 'crete. Those blue tiles look nice.
8. Come on stupid, you know what to do now.

* one last note, the repro pool will never be as good as the "real deal" - always remember this. but this gem is a fun one.
