    Betta SE Plus

    I just emailed with Betta. It was $30 cheaper on Amazon. They said I could still buy the Betta warranty even though my purchase was on Amazon. I’ll give it a go!

    Betta SE Plus

    Would you buy it from Amazon or Betta directly? I’m trying to see who has a better warranty option.

    plaster on new pool-is this how it should look?

    Help me identify this type of rope float anchor point. Please.

    We ran into the same problem. We bought a rope before the pool was built and they still installed their version that didn’t work with our rope.

    New Pool in Pennsylvania

    After not showing up for the decking, they offered to do the final grade for free. It’s not the $$ I wanted, but at least it saved my husband from doing the grade. Quartz plaster is going in today! So close!!!

    Rail. Yay or nay

    Handrail it is! The first step is small onto the sun shelf, but I think it’s good to have options.

    Rail. Yay or nay

    They are working on the deck as I type. My husband say nay for the handrail, but I am torn. Decisions! Does anyone else have input on this?

    New Pool in Pennsylvania

    The design and contract listed enough wall for two feet high. When the wall builder (pool subcontractor) came out, he advised us it needed to be higher to be properly done.

    I’m so frustrated right now!!! I haven’t posted in awhile because our pool build has been everything but smooth. I was hoping after meeting with the NE construction manager I would feel better, but I don’t. Long story short... we feel we were sold a bait and switch with regards to our retaining...

    They showed up today to cover the plumbing with screenings and dirt. I hope we get a break in the rain for the tile and coping. At this rate, I will be #teacheratwork, not #teacherbythepool!

    New contract / New build - SE Pennsylvania, Gunite free form pool and spa

    I’m glad to see they started! It was a 2 1/2 day dig for us. I guess the place where they dump the dirt closes early for you too. That’s why they ended early each day for us.
