Building a Poolside Paradise with a 2024 Budget
Dive into the adventure as I transform an ordinary backyard into a summer paradise! Join me on this wild ride as I take on the challenge of turning an above-ground pool from cheap and flashy to elegant and classy. Watch as I tackle every step of the process, from purchasing the pool on Amazon to leveling the ground and building a deck around it.
But the fun doesn't stop there! I'll share all the ups and downs, including unexpected challenges like stubborn tree stumps and unexpected rain showers turning the site into a muddy mess. With a little DIY ingenuity and a lot of determination, we'll overcome it all.
Then, brace yourselves as I face the judgment of Reddit's deck-building experts in r/decks. Will they applaud my efforts or tear them apart? Tune in to find out!
So grab your favorite floaties because we're about to embark on a journey to elevate the humble above-ground pool to new heights. Get ready for a splash of creativity, a sprinkle of laughter, and a whole lot of DIY magic!

Cannonball Not bad for your first time. Definitely on the right track. Keep up the good content!
Coconut
Cannonball!! Huge undertaking Chad, when you said there was a giveaway, I thought you were giving a pool 😉
One of the best above ground pools I’ve seen. Nicely done.
I'm half expecting Kevin McAllister to ask if you mind if he works on his cannonball technique? 😅 #homealone
Awesome work! Great voice over!
Cannonball
Cannonball!!!
Dude - this is like a Mark Rober video. Huge props for such a well crafted vid. This must have taken ages to edit. Well done sir, well done.
Wow that’s a huge compliment Asher! It was quite a daunting amount of footage I think like 400gbs of footage and since I used multiple cameras the footage was all jumbled up and not in order, lesson learned.
What a stupid joke 😂for that money I can buy a more powerful MOPA Fiberlaser the dose a better work faster and cheaper 🤔 I love how pathetic those Diode laser producers enhance their "products" 🤣. We need more power idiots: we slap a bunch of morronic mirrors in it without using effective amplifikation crystals... Yeah that will do. 🤣😂
building a deck around an above ground pool is where I got lost. Most likely comped by lowes as well. I always like your content...this one screams insanity plus comped.
If it’s considered insanity to bring joy to these kids then call me crazy. Nothing here was comped, if it were this deck would have actually had 6x6 post concrete footers and would have definitely been up to code 😉
Great job! looks really good.
Thank you brother it has been a fun project, looking forward to getting the sliding deck done before fall hits this year so I don’t have to deal with all the leaves again. I’ll send you my plans so I can get them stamped by an engineer 😉
We had the same at our house growing up. We built a deck around it and everyone thought it was an inground pool !😊
It’s not a bad way to go, we have loved it so far. Thank you for watching!
Looks great! Can't let the wife watch, or I'll be doing this soon. Cannonball
Hahaha it’s quite a big one for the honey do list. Thanks for watching my friend.
Cannonball! IMHO, great job. Enjoy the pool.
Darko thank you very much!
Cannonball
Thank you for watching til the end!
*Nice!!! I have been Thinking about doing the Same!!!*
You should, I am a believer after going through all of that.
I want that 🥺
Coconut. Just trying to figure out where I can put a laser cutter in my apartment😅
Coconut cutting and engraving could be a topic for a future episode?
Coconut. Still grappling with the concept of a plastic rock. 😅 But your sign looks cool.
Kokos, 😂 Please
Coconut I've been a bit too busy with work as of late, but im making a concerted effort to get back into DIY and making
coconut!! Great video!
Coconut. Maybe a desktop waterjet might be an idea for the future??
avocado! lol Im running into the same issue. my etsy has become a hodgepodge of handmade items. I get bored and make something new, or I get custom orders. I feel like I need to narrow down my business. Thanks for the video!
Dont sell norman
He out smarted me anyways… 17:30
Coconut are fun to make bird toys and they smell bad if you use your laser on them, 🥥
coconut? would go coconuts for one of these!!!!
Coconut engrave would look sweet 😅
Avacado! Thanks for all of the great information. Finding that one product that sells well is often the issue, but you nailed it.
Coconut needs a new laser!
Omg Avacado! Congratulations on your ‘LIFE’!! This video has retaught me something that has long been ignored. First let me share that I’m at an incredibly low and difficult place with zero income and zero support of any kind.However, I’m armed with the creativity and skills to create and create I do; so numerous that it’s overwhelming and difficult to decide which ones to do. This is how your video reminded me of an earlier lesson,”Successful people do one thing and one thing well.” Awesome video! Now..please make a video on which one will get me an income the fastest..? Please and thank you 😊 🤣🤣
Coconut! Could really use a new laser for our budding business. Only have a 20w/40w Sculpfun right now that is nothing but a headache.
How much do these retail for?
Chad, I think that I would cut my offerings to the top 10-20 selling projects. The time you get to spend with your family will be "priceless" later on....
Coconut surely is a vegetable that dont grow here in Finland. Better just be inside the warmth of the house and do lazer thingys... Good content!
"I want that coconut!"
This foam float?
Yes definitely
What does the water and borax do? Never heard of that trick
With a low power setting you can turn the borax solution black which is great but it must be sealed in with a top coat as it rubs away very easily.
@@ChadsCustomCreations oh wow I didn’t know this! Going to give it a try! Thank you! Subscribed. Very helpful video!
I want that!
Coconut! Love your vids man.
Coconut crazy nice video
Coconut I really truly love all the videos that you do and all the research you do into all these products it's pretty amazing thank you
I want that. Wow so cool
Cocunut right meow!
Coconut - Dude that's awesome! I would love to have that for my business, building EV's.
I want that. great video and awesome initiative!
Coconut : i need to know if they will laser engrave carbon steel.
Coconut - Norman, NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Thanks for watching Kemal! Norman out smarted me 17:30 if you missed it.
@@ChadsCustomCreations I did miss it. Wow! Felt kind of like a slave buying his own freedom... except the "using the owner's credit card" part 😅😅. I guess now the owner gets to keep Norman.
Amazing ideas! Thank you for this!
Glad you like them!
