Hi all - I'm new to this forum and have really enjoyed learning and starting "pool school." I am in way over my head in not understanding our first quote we have been sent from a company. I have listed it below. I am a little bit in sticker shock honestly. I really wanted to stay below $40K. My question is am I being unrealistic? Would love some honest feedback. Thanks!
