So here's where the pool/pool house are going. Pool house construction has started, and we're going to dig in a couple weeks!

The red X marks the sunroom where we usually hang out in the house --- drinking morning coffee, reading, hanging around before dinner. The little red dot shows the location of the door we'll mostly use to access the pool/backyard. The larger circle/squareish thing to the right is where the hot tub is going, up against the house. Pool house will be mostly covered patio but will have a bathroom and an outdoor shower (shower will be on that bit of concrete running along side the poolhouse.
Shallow end will have full length vinyl covered steps. Deep end will have the autocover housing, fastlane swim current generator, and maybe a diving board. Initially, I was dead set on having the shallow end on the end FURTHEST from the pool house. I wanted to be able to leave my main house and walk right into the pool because everyday pool use will basically be going from the house to the pool. Even when we decided to go ahead with the poolhouse, I'd wanted to do it this way because I figured people would use the pool house AND the other end of the pool deck that way. I'm having second thoughts now. I think that maybe I want the shallow end/steps by the pool house because (1) it'll be prettier to look at from the sunroom than the autocover housing/fastlane (on the other hand, the cover will mostly be closed?), (2) it'll be easier for people to use the poolhouse bathroom if they walk up the steps and are right there by the poolhouse patio. I'm afraid if steps are where I really want them --- by the door to the main house ---then people will want to walk right into the house for the bathroom and drip all over the floor. Same thing for leaving towels and goggles and stuff around. Maybe I'd rather have all that stuff all at the poolhouse end?
Would love some thoughts! I hope it's not too late to tell my builder, but I think I'm fine as long as I tell before the dig starts.... (Also testing to see if my Gold Supporter badge starts showing up!). Thanks everyone!
