Well, I think delays are inevitable... it just happens. Rain, busy, sub not available, etc. However, if you are not happy with the quality of work that they do, you should definitely speak up as soon as possible so it can be corrected. It's your money and your pool and you deserve to have...

Oh yes, Kim! Very smart on the written communications to create a paper trail!!!

I wouldn't post a negative review yet. Hold that as your leverage until the project is finished. You also have the leverage of money. Do not pay for anything additional until work already paid for has been completed.

There are different manufacturers of pebble finishes, but I have noticed that the ones that use both a mix of smaller and larger pebbles (relative size, they are all small) along with ones that were NOT crushed and are naturally tiny and smooth are a lot easier on the feet. Crushed ones have...

Very cool! Glad you decided to pull the trigger. That pool looks PERFECT for you guys... the little one can stay in the step area or play on the ledge on the far side.. and you, spouse, and older kids can have a moderately sized area for play/relaxing in the middle and a nice deeper area at...

https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/questioning-pool-ownership.187134/#post-1651158 OP had previously started this thread asking about building a new inground pool in his backyard but was concerned because he has 3 kids (safety). I think now the concern is that he has limited space so he's...

In your situation, with the older boys and then the younger girl, I would do a small tanning ledge (sometimes called a Baja shelf) which is usually about 8 inches deep up to 16 inches deep. Give the smaller child somewhere to start out and play. Sometimes adults like to put their feet in, but...

Actually Richard makes a good point, I assumed that this was a 12 foot by 25 foot rectangular in ground pool... :unsure:

Not too small but obviously not huge either. Just make sure the kids know it's not a diving pool and to be careful about running and jumping.... but that is big enough to have some fun playing games and relaxing.

If you donate to the website you get a larger space for photos, I believe.

Look at this check list for the City of Allen: https://www.cityofallen.org/DocumentCenter/View/7097/Pools-Checklist-2015?bidId= Must be 5 feet from residence and 3 feet from property lines. You'll also have to abide by any easements (will be marked on the survey) I am not sure if you are...

There is no way you can run an open system and have your water be sanitary without some sort of "chemical" (ie., chlorine, bromine, PHMB)... so maybe "minimal chemicals" but not zero... not possible. That also renders zero operational cost impossible, and water isn't usually free either...

You may find some additional help regarding your plaster color choice in this thread Pool Finish and Color Viewing Room...TFP Member Sound Off As far as salt vs. chlorine... salt for easier maintenance, chlorine for cheaper upfront costs. Your choice. I would choose salt if money was no...

This sounds like such a fun project. Stressful... but fun! Welcome and please post pictures along the way.

Your slide looks very cool! On the robot, I believe the Saturn has 1 brush and does not do waterline where the S200 has two brushes and is advertised as doing waterline. It's slightly more expensive but if you call Margaret at Marina Pool Spa Patio in Colorado during normal business hours and...

If I had to do it all over again, I would have chosen my own person for landscaping afterwards. My pool builder advertised as being "turn key" (and having everyone for everything). But some trades were great (concrete, plaster, electrical, plumbing, masonry) while others (landscaping...
