About four weeks. We were on a waiting list for about 2 months before that. Answering an earlier post, it's hard to say what the cost difference for a regular pool would be. I didn't price gunite. An ICF pool would run 10 to 15 more. Fiberglass over that if I remember correctly. Lots of variables to consider. One like this would cost you in the low 70's if done in this area and with this contractor.

Very nice. Now, don't let the wife plant stuff close to the pool.

So, I passed the final inspection this morning. AP requires a self closing gate, a six foot fence and alarms on all doors and windows facing the enclosure. I had all that in place. The only problem I saw coming was that my access gate was hard to self close when 30mph winds blew. So I did all kind of scientific things trying to make it work. I built an opposite force panel to pivot the door closed. I put four spring hinges on the gate and also added another spring. I then added a wind block to keep the wind from hammering the open side of the gate. Proved to be unnecessary. Anyway, passed final. Good to go.
