Thanks for the info. Jimin can I ask what were the reasons that you decided not to do it. (BTW I love your Disney Mickey markers!!)

We are going through the process of picking a pool builder to build a concrete pool in our yard. A few obstacles have crept up that we are sorting out but alas the summer is ticking away. A few pool builders have suggested that we could begin construction on the pool in late summer and do...

Hi everyone! We are inches away from signing a contract for a gunite pool build in Maryland. I wanted to run the plan by you all and get your opinions. Here it is A 700 sq ft pool (I will post a picture of the drawing as soon as I figure out how i.e get my 15 year old to help me!) Heater...

Funny enough that is exactly the web article that started me down this path. The other thing the builder mentioned that I didn't add earlier is the freeze and thaw issue. In reading some of the posts and an another older thread in this forum it seems this may in part be a north/south thing...

I was talking with a PB today and I'd like to get the forum's views on this issue. I had read that you should only use ridgid PVC pipe and not flexible pipe. The rationale is that the flexible pioe is easier to damage ( because it is less strong than the ridgid pipe) and it is susceptible to...

We do not have loads of space (nor loads of money!). We were thinking of something between 30 and 40 feet. We are in Maryland so the pool will not be used year round (yes I am jealous of all of you warm weather folks in Texas and Florida!). We are trying to maximize its utility while keeping...

We are designing a pool and trying to determine the shortest length that we can make it but having it still useful for swimming laps. Let me be clear though, no Olympic training going on her - think more just exercising in the evening. The pool will also be used for water sports by my teenagers...

Thank you very much for the information. The thread to the pool build in Annapolis is great (that pool turned out beautifully!). I have PMed her and some other folks. I can't say enough nice things about this web site - so informative and the folks are so helpful! Thanks!

We are interested in putting an inground pool in our backyard (gunite/concrete). I am trying to get multiple quotes but I'm having trouble finding pool builders who don't have a ton of negative reviews. Can anyone recommend a pool builder in the Maryland area? Thanks!
