I am about to sign contracts with what I believe to be a great pool builder that I have really researched. I have poured through the TFP and have read several times to ensure you (me) get all model numbers etc. In addition, on the contract it only lists the main items, and in small print says "...oral representations of salesman which are not made a part of this contract are not binding." So my question is, do I have to get every single detail in a contract? I created a spreadsheet with every category I could think of. Can you tell me if there is anything I could be missing? Basically, this is the first column and then I have the coo responding "answer" next to each inquiry. Below are all the details I could think of. Or am I being a freak???
