Hey all - --
I have been lurking for quite a while - on here and Garden web. What a blessing a site like this is!! I have wanted a pool my entire life and hope my home equity line comes thru so we can do this!! LOL
We met with 3 builders so far - and I have 2 that I can copy and paste into this for scrutinizing if you will!! Thanks in advance for your help!
I have considered having "just" the pool built, and handle the pavers and screen myself to save about 5k possibly...
Here are the two I have in print form...
