Well I've pulled the trigger on a pool builder in the SE Houston area with a tentative November start date. Looking for any and all advice I can get from the board on what I did wrong and what I did right. I have been looking on this website following pool builds and feedback from the board the last few months to educate myself as best as possible but this is my first pool so I'll take any help I can get. I've listed out the specs below and included some renderings(the sheers are messed up on the back wall in the pictures) and i addded a small tanning ledge next to the pool. I'm limited on space due to a 14' UE and some strict pool build guidelines by the city so I only had so much space to work with.
