In less time than it takes to drive to the Pacific Ocean, We Fix Ugly Pools built a backyard swimming pool for a Central Phoenix family.

The Phoenix-based company set a world record Wednesday. According to research by Brian Morris, owner of We Fix Ugly Pools, previous pool building records were 13 to 16 hours.

“Five hours and 56 minutes later, we were done,” Morris said. “We started at 6 a.m. By 9 a.m. we already shotcrete the pool. The Phoenix Fire Department filled the pool with water in nine minutes. ”
 
Morris said an extreme home improvement show gave him the idea of beating a pool building record. Morris joked to Julie and Michael Fish, who had signed a contract for a pool in June, that he could build their pool in one day.

“I just wanted a pool,” Julie said. “They gave me a lot more. It’s going to be a nice space to relax. I can’t wait to spend my evenings outside.”

The backyard transformed from grassy blah-ness to a lush, desert landscaped entertainment area with a pool and play ground in record speed. Both Morris and the family declined to say how much they paid for the pool. But Morris said the entire job would normally cost more than $55,000.

“She opened up her house and her life to us,” Morris said. “We wanted to give her a pool and landscaping that would be very (energy efficient).”

Around 3:30 p.m. workers showed the Fish family how to remove the pool’s safety cover. The couple’s son, Grant, and some neighborhood kids jumped into the pool.

“It was pretty impressive how everything came together,” said Morris. “At one point we had over 150 people working simultaneously. We all had an end goal in mind. We’re pretty excited about it.”

Julie Fish said the project was exciting to watch. From the excavation of 85 tons of dirt, to the fire department filling the pool with 9,000 gallons of water from a fire hydrant.

“It was awesome, everyone knew what they were doing,” Fish said.

The Ugly Pool Guy, Brian Morris, President of We Fix Ugly Pools is undertaking the challenge of an truly incredibly backyard makeover. Over 200 people will attempt to build a start to finish pool in less than 16 hours.
On August 1st, 2007, The Ugly Pool Guy and We Fix Ugly Pools will be taking a simple backyard from Ugly to Awesome in under 16 hours.

Project to include:

1) Full construction of an in-ground swimming pool. From excavation to swimmable!

Features include:

a. color changing light

b. energy efficient pump and filter

c. salt chlorination system

d. automation with remote control ability

2) The pool will include “green build” items such as a pool cover and solar heating. The covers help to control water loss, minimize
chemical usage and control maintenance. Covers are also being recognized as one of the safest barriers available for swimming pools.

3) A water feature will compliment the pool and create an addition to the backyard environment.

4) Backyard landscaping: Water conserving landscaping will be the focus of the surrounding areas of the backyard.

5) Interactive children’s area: To compliment the pool construction and landscaping, an area is being created to ensure that children have an area to interact and enjoy outdoor activities. A play system, based with the safety of the children in mind, will entice the imagination. The base product will utilize recycled rubber tires.

Live streaming video will be available on our website for a continual viewing of the project as it proceeds.

Electric lifts will be on site to allow for the photography of the construction from a bird’s eye view above the construction.

What is so unique about this pool build is that we are expecting to complete construction in 16 hours of less (that includes DIGGING the pool to WATER IN THE POOL!) PLUS landscaping and a play system.

We are honored to invite you to participate in the event to add to the aesthetic and safety aspect of backyard construction that is so important during a new construction or renovation. While our focus appears to be on speed, we are dedicated to the quality and the safety of our finished product as well. The homeowner has small children which will be our focus of concern throughout the construction.
