Hi Glad I found this place!

[Decoy205]

Hi All!
I joined this place at the beginning of this year like so many looking for help and advice.

I just changed my UN from jcosenza to Decoy205 which I usually use for online communities. I mostly frequent guitar related sites but I also love BBQ and see there is a place for that here as well! I realized I never did a proper intro here so….

I grew up with an 18’ round AGP and we loved it. All my cousins in Long Island had IGPs so we were definitely pool people.

I moved into my new house last year July ‘21 and it had a 21’ round AGP. We knew it was old but the prev owner took great care of it .

Here’s our yard at the end of last season:

Over the winter the cover was sinking in and we realized there was a leak with the help of this forum.

We decided to replace it this year as I found out it was a 34 year old doughboy.

I will hopefully post pics as the install is coming up soon. I also wish I found TFP last year since I spent a lot on Chlorine pucks and powder shock.

I just want to say thanks for the help and advice. Looking forward to learning a lot more Here.

-John

Thanks! It’s the reason we bought the house really. When we looked it last year the kids and my wife fell in love. It has a nice deck with a gazebo, a path to pool area with a little bridge a half basketball court and the lawn has a place to put up a volley ball net. For a home built in the 80s it has a charm to it that we felt right away.

We can’t wait to get the new pool up and start enjoying the yard for the summer!
