Aloha kitschywonan:
35 thousand!!! Yes if you'd have something like this done by a regular pool contractor it would be at least that much and probably more since so much of it would be 'custom' work, read $$$$$$!!. That's the major reason why I want to do it as an 'owner-builder' and keep track of it myself and vend out the individual bits of it. And I don't want a slick pool contractor look to it.
In my research, the most expensive part of it will be the actual gunite work, where it costs over $100 a yard for them to spray it in. But it seems for the basin itself it is the best way to do it.
I'm hoping the entire project to be more in the $10,000 range, but you know it always ends up costing a lot more.
Here's the list of individual contractors I'll need:
A digger with a bobcat (I have a contact for one)
A metal worker for the rebar work (I have a couple of numbers to call)
Gunite (I have a contact)
Electrical (I still need a good referal on this, I've had a few excellent ones and so many terrible ones in the past, I want to be careful screening these guys)
Did I leave anything out?
Most of the plumbing I'll try to do myself.
I want to do the above ground rockwork and waterfall basins myself. I've got a friend who welds who can help.
My first step will be to go ahead and order the filter system and then contact the digger and metal guy.
