    Building a pool on a hill - differing opinions

    It's amazing how long it is taking for us to get concrete quotes (pun intended!) on our pool. One builder measured the grade - it drops 5' over 30' or so. So we know there needs to be a wall. We're still waiting for a basic plan/quote from one builder, but the other 2 that are in contention...

    Quote for Baltimore City pool - could I get some input?
