    New Pool build in Connecticut - Feedback wanted!!!!

    I'd go deeper. The water will be over even Emeka Okafor's head, but I think 7 feet might preclude the option for a diving board in the future. Never know about the ever-changing regulations in Connecticut.

    Pros and cons of trucking water versus hose fill

    Slide or No Slide...that is the question.

    I have one and I don't think it really affects our insurance. On the other hand the pool and slide was already installed when we bought the house and I wasn't going to dismantle it based on insurance quotes. I hate what insurance companies have turned into. Their only purpose now is to ensure...
