Great question! they were hired by the builder. I questioned the conflict of interest concerned i have with the inspector when he came to do the steel inspection. He said they are backed by insurance if they screw up vs the county inspections have no liability if they mess up. He obviously...

I went and measured all the rebar, they are less than 12" a part. The approved permit documents reflect the rebar at 12" on center. The gunite guy just came to inspect and i questioned the quality of the steel and he walked the whole parameter and said everything is good. I asked about the...

Hi, did you go with a company yet?

First, what a great site! I am in the process of getting some estimates for a new pool (14×28), deck (700 sq ft) and screen enclosure. The estimates we've been getting are in the upper 40s. Anyone recently built a pool for under 40k? If so, who was the PB?

Fatback, who was your builder?
