YouTube is your friend. See if 8x10 DIY is worth it. 8x10 is relatively small, but for DIY still back breaking labor. Note in this video, no rebar is used to save cost. Depending on location, be aware of drainage. If next to house/structure, make sure there is a slight slant for rain to drain away from house.

The price is about right though.

No, DIY is not worth it

Update, I’m watching the handyman start building the foundation..it’s probably 90 deg outside. Props to him, he’s pushing 60

How is he planning on the concrete? Bags in a wheel barrow, a mixer or having a truck bring it in? That is the piece that is time sensitive. If he is doing it himself, might be in your interest to lend a hand.

WTH? You're rich. Daughter has been asking for a pool for years, instead, I've put wood chips over our lawn and now grow fruit trees. I tell her to trim the branches for fun.

Got 5 fruit trees in along with herb and tomatoes on the side

A little bit of resort worth it, right? YOLO.
