Deck´n´tub tales

Wow that looks great! If you dont mind can i ask how much did you pay for it.

Thanks!
I'm not sure if it's the right thing to talk money, since most things (all the funny, pleasing, electronic, enginedriven, battery operated and manly things) are much more expensive here in Sweden. I went to a HotSpring dealer the other day to get some chemicals and happened to look at at a HS Grandee. 24600$  

Anyways, for the project I described here all materials was about 1800$: I did the job myself so that was "free"

I assume you have already thought of this so please forgive 'the reminder'..  Considering that you are literally 'building over a hole' (swimming pool), just know that unless you put a sump pump or something to 'get rid of the buildup of snow, ice and water that will have fallen down between the deck boards(with every snowfall, rain water etc).. the 'water' below the deck will destroy the footings (erosion around the footing) and be a great breeding ground for mold and mildew in the spring and summer.
