What is up with these guys....? :x I heard the same Crud this weekend from my PB. Now him and his partner are most likely splitting up the business, one partner is spending too much..... Which explains why the delays through this project.....but the whole $$$ thing that they want to complete...

Here is a list of line items for your contract between your Pool Builder and yourself. Although some people will say good luck in getting the PB to agree, but hey it’s worth the try. 1. Deliverable dates, and tie into payments around deliverable if possible. Try to make you PB meet certain...

Great topic! My PB initially asked me what do I want to do with the dirt. I said, I had no use for it, unless it was needed for after the pool install. And if so to leave a small pile so I had enough to fill in tire marks from their BobCat etc. He ensured me no problem, we will grade the...

Sounds like your PB needs alittle New York beat down! :lol: I have had similar problems with my PB. The job started late May 2007 and it should of been completed by early August. And much to my amazement it's still not finished! Waiting for the pool cover to be installed, suppoedly there...

I went with the ColorLogic LED light. Only have one light in a Fiber Glass, 35x18. And honestly, it's not as bright as I would like it. I should have gone with two of them. But it is cool at night when I turn the pumps onand the heater, and set the LED light to various color show....it...

I just wanted to share the story. My project is about 95% complete. Waiting for the PB to install my pool cover and close the pool for the winter....supposedly the cover is on order! But you were 500% correct about the bonding! Once the handrail was installed, my oldest daughter discovered a...

Thank you for the quick reply! Should i get my hands on the TFTest Kits from this website? It seems everyone is using them....?

I have a Barrier Reef pool FG, and my PB says I do not need to really test the water becuase my salt chlorine generator, takes care of everything......and that as long as my water is clear, then I'm fine... I think he is off his rocker.....and he states that I need a special water tester since...

Thanks for the advice! Any ideas of any "cheap" places to purchase?

Wow 3-4 times! I'm talking about the hand rail for walking into the pool. see the link of a commercial hand rail... http://www.sterlingpool.com/dms103.htm

I'm at the final stages of my 6 week ordeal of Fiber glass pool install. Contrete ready to be poured in the next few days and supposedly the bricks will be completed as well right after. But my PB wants $400 to install a 48 -57 inch pool hand rail! Is this acurate? I have found the 48 or 57...

I know exactly what you are talking about....I'm upset that I was not able to get the 3.0. I even did an extensive Web search, and nothing. So now I have the ColorLogic 2.5 (50 Foot Cord) installed on the side of the pool awaiting justification from the PB why they installed it where they did...

Has anyone installed these lights? http://www.eveningstarlighting.com/ they are pretty cool, the issue my PB wants $100 a piece.

One word...SONOS! Yes it's alittle on the high price, but when you have 40GB of music, it's the way to go. My pool is still being installed, but I plan to install KLH Rock Speakers 125W from BJ's for $79 a pair. And two more Bose outdoor speakers by the patio. All plugged into a 3000W...

Thanks everyone for the great responses. I did alot of research on the ColorLogic light, and I have also seen alot of reviews concerning the SAVI Light http://www.nexxuslighting.com/products/ ... l_spa.html apparently this is very good light, and some people say brighter. But communicating...
