    Getting Ready For Spring 2019.

    HI everyone. We built our pool in November 2018 just in time for the Midwest Winter/Polar Vortex to hit us. We literally got to see our pool for about a day. Had a crash course in pool school and watched our builder shut her down and winterize it while it was sleeting. We will have a more...
