Yes... please see my post
Underway on large pool project... w/ pics
I had the thing designed ( i did the work myself)(the design work on the PC that is) down to the gnats arse... Reason being I kNOW i would forget something if I didnt... Unfortunately you will forget stuff anyway. You should probably design and map out the entire project now. At least know whats going to be phase 2, 3, 4, etc with plans laid out. For instance, I have outlets going in under the bar, out in the yard in 2 different spots for landscape lighting. I have a water box pop up to use for hoses out in the yard. There are probably 75 things I added or put in based on posts on here and others reviews of items etc.
However they will likely be harder to do if not planned for initially. Perhaps things like power runs etc are easier done now (since the pool requires power) than 3 years down the line... All I ask is that you think things through with the 5 year goal in mind... It may change your mind about what happens now vs then...
Ill avail myself for any questions or help/advice I can offer being in a northern state or someone who is knee deep in the project as we speak...
good luck
