    Pool not dug deep enough? New construction

    even if you get a guarantee that only lasts as long as the company that cant build a pool to the contract if the depth is in writing on the contract I would get an attorney and tell them you will NOT pay any more and will not accept less than the stated depth I would also refuse the rework...

    Since I just received a question in PM about the LED sheers I thought I would add the details here "I had fiber stars lights under the other sheers and they sucked. The difference between LED and non LED sheers was not that much and we like the lights. The colors are controllable via the...
