5 is for the smaller 18 rounds. or the "hot tub" 12 rounds. Our record is doing an 18 round in 55 minutes, grassy backyard to water truck filling up the pool. If we do a big 30 round or 15x30 oval (i think) we could be there easily 3-4 hours. more if stuff doesnt go right

Evening guys.
Miles you would be LUCKY if you could do one pool in two days in my area.
There is SO muck ledge around here it is crazy.
When I built I had to blast for the foundation and even for the utilities to come into the on to the property.

Yup that sounds like the kind of job that would suck! The nicest digging is in portland actually, and the worst is almost always in developments. In middletown my uncle had to tear up this guys back yard 3 times before we found a spot that was "alright" and he still needed stone dust! It was bad.

But again they are above ground, so we only have to dig down as much as needed to level the ground.
