    How long is your pool taking to get built ?

    Florida here. Broke ground in May of 2021. Waiting on plaster and electrical. Looking like a 12 month build however that's just a guess based on 2-3 months of waiting between steps we've experienced so far.

    Hopefully the pool bubble is over!

    Scary thing is is if the cash flow stops from new business and the PB's run out of $ to finish current builds.

    White Noise Ideas for Pool Build - Barking Dogs

    One can only hope. It's a Bard package unit if I had to guess was 20-40 years old. It may outlive me. I even offered to split the cost to change it to a normal split system. The whole "working with your neighbors" philosophy only works when they are sane.

    White Noise Ideas for Pool Build - Barking Dogs

    I'm dealing with something similar only I think my situation is worse. My neighbor has an ancient air conditioner 15 feet up on the side of her house overlooking my pool. The only good solutions are very expensive and it doesn't seem as easy to get the county involved for an AC vs barking dogs...

    Am I being screwed over??

    Is it buried as deep as is displayed in the design? Seems like it could be a couple feet lower and not require a wall.

    New build - spa walls shot too thick

    Seems like they would have to completely tear out and replace the walls to do it right. Sadly I've learned from my build that literally not a single change we made across several trades actually made it to anyone's hands.

    First pool Tampa area - Plumbing question

    Just unbelievable the comedy of errors across the whole industry it seems. Last week I had an entire extra set of pool equipment(pump, filter, lights, electronic panel and even the equipment pad) delivered to my house and placed right next to the equipment I had already received. Not a single...

    New build in Tampa - Palm trees planted

    I'd probably suggest waiting. To be honest I would have probably waited until at least pavers were installed, however we bought the trees 5 months ago back when things were on schedule and the tree place was holding them for me, so I just wanted to get them off their hands.

    New build in Tampa - Palm trees planted

    While the agonizingly slow build process continues, we decided to go ahead and have our 4 palm trees planted once the deck footers were poured.
