    The big stump in the middle will be ripped out along with some others. The rest I may grind. Most of them will be on the perimeter in beds so I am not too concerned with them.

    My Pool

    We are about to get the exact same pool. Any gotchas with the shape? I see you have 2 lights. Is it necessary? We are considering a second light. We opted for full width steel stairs and a cuddle cove in the deepe end. Any advice you can offer would be welcome!

    Saltwater system is a definite and it is included in the quote. I am fully prepared for the ledge issue, mentally and financially (although rock crushing here is $1500/day) :) How much of a benefit is the EcoStar over the Tristar? Is it worth the cost?
