    Signed contract today - anticipate lots of sleepless nights in my future

    Hello neighbor and congrats on your new pool too!! Spend lots of time in MD, mostly on the bay. I was back and forth between pool and property on the Chesapeake. The pool looks so small with just flags and survey tape.

    An almost first time pool owner
