    Opinions on a pool bid please...

    Why no, I did not hire these people. Okay, well they were supposed to start digging today but we got delayed by rain, so to entertain everyone I thought I'd post this fantastic example of a pool bid. Like seriously, who in their right mind would think you would hand over $50K+ on the strength...

    Where would you sell an Above Ground Pool?

    I'm looking for ideas. If anyone has bought one where/how did you find it? I have one to sell with a new wall, new parts and new liner all still in boxes so I'm not giving it away. I have it listed on Craigslist, but so far all I've had is one person asking me if 'I wanna swap it for a golf...

    Can I install a larger sand filter with the same pump?
