Hello Everyone, my family and I relocated from San Diego, California to North Texas and we were not prepared for the heat! My husband’s retirement from the Navy had us seeking a lower cost of living and a veteran friendly state. So Texas is now home. We signed a contract to put in a pool and spa (something we could not afford in Cali) and our family of 3 kids, 1 dog and a cat are very much looking forward to it. As we are originally from Louisiana we expect lots of family members to visit us also. I’m told having a pool gets you more visitors than usual! We have tons of questions as we have never owned a pool and hope to learn a lot here.

Welcome!! I started here a 2 1/2 years ago when we were just thinking about building a pool. We've been swimming for almost a year and a half and the advice we got here has been invaluable. Once you are in the design/quote stage, start a thread in the "under construction" forum, and you'll get great advice on your design, equipment, quotes, and support through the construction phase.
You've definitely found the right place.

Hello, Building the first pool is really worth it, when a pool appeared in our house, it was true happiness. We just couldn't get off this pool for about a month
