    Pool too shallow and sloped side to side—-from lack of quality work. They jack hammered it out flat and want to re-shoot the bottom??? supposedly this is a normal fix??

Builder just said it was used to close the gap for possible coping movement instead of a grout line that could crack and that it is hard to get them close together. He...

    Just started the bid process, looking at doing an in-ground gunite pool approx 30x17 rectangle. Wife wants a tanning ledge and a deep end maybe 7', but I'm worried it will take too much shallow swim space for our 3 children age 10, 8, and 4. Just started looking at this page in the past week...

    BigEinAZ I'm interested in your tanning ledges and how you feel about their sizes versus swimming area. Thanks any insight would be appreciated.
