Southern Utah
Hello from sunny St George Utah (about 90 minutes north of Las Vegas, on the Arizona/Utah border). We're new to the area after spending our lives in beautiful Colorado, but have been vacationing in southern Utah for over 20 years. New house, new area, and new pool. We have limited space so pool is going in the side-yard, a 14'x30' fiberglass rectangle with an 8'x10' raised spa next to it. Will just fit. Our lot sits about 25-30' above the homes below us so we get some wonderful western & northern views. Pool shell is in production now, we expect to be in the water by April. Working with a great PB (have inspected some of their work and are pleased).

A friend of mine asked me if I've found a "pool guy" yet, and I told him "you're looking at him." At the time I figured you hired a pool guy like you hire someone to mow your lawn; when you're too busy to do it yourself. I obsessively research everything, and after weeks of learning I understand now that water chemistry is a bit more complicated than lawn mowing. :) But I am still excited to maintain my own pool and am thrilled at the knowledge this group has put together. Nice work!

I look forward to sharing some photos of our progress and participating in the community here.

Here is a sunset view from the backyard. We love it here.i-9bgqFmZ-4K.jpg
 
WOW...what a beautiful sight! I'm so glad you decided to join us here at TFP and share your new pool build with us. You know we like lots of pics, right?? Please go to one of our TFP specific forums for building pools and let us follow along (either "Getting Started" or "Construction").

Welcome! I am a huge lover of St. George. I grew up in Idaho and used to make several golfing trips to St. George each year. We have family that live there. It is a beautiful place. My grandfather's grandfather lived in St. George in the late 1800's. He recorded in his journal that he had went into the "Red Hills" one evening and carved his name into the rock. On my last trip there, I was able to find his inscription!

Welcome to TFP! You will find this site to be unmatched in all areas of pools. Once you arm yourself with the knowledge here you will have NO need for a pool boy.
