If we were to drive there it would be a 24 hr round trip if you are close to Ok city, so I would have to make some kind of excuse besides picking up a Ray, I did it this summer but it was only 4 hours to St. Louis and we celebrated our 12th anniversery so that worked out, cause my wife likes...

Buy the way it ended up being a 860 gallon pool at 21.5 inches and 9'- .5" plus I would guess 35 gallons in the sump. Sure hope it does'nt break apart

If I could afford it I would have granite cut to the radius BUT that would be exspensive. The concrete would be a good alternative, and I like the idea with the fosils, but with the water in there I'd better not. I am thinking wood and then epoxy paint. I think I am going to make some stensils...

Note the one pipe return for now till I make the waterfall. Now I have to tighten up the liner up at the top and then make some kind of cover for the top edge, any ideas?
