Hi all! Been lurking around here since last summer when the thought of putting in a pool came up. My wife hates public pools and I was tired of the weather not cooperating on my days off to go swimming on those hot, humid Ohio days. We signed our contract this past January. The original projected time frame for install was July of this year. Got an email from our builder this evening, they moved our build up to MAY! No exact dates, yet; but, really excited (and scared - my backyard is going to be a mess). I was jealous reading about the pool openings down south. Now, I should be swimming by Memorial Day
It's nothing fancy. Details in my signature below
We went with a sport pool
3' 6" shallow to 4'3" deep end. Yes, that's correct. I have some really short people in my family. A diving/tread water pool was not an option from the wife. It's deep enough for me and my son (we are tall) to swim some laps and roam around, wife won't be treading water and my daughter can use the whole pool (on her tip-toes in the deep end). Not to mention the rest of the family (mostly short) when they come over (July 4th swim party at my house!).
I'm taking 2 weeks vacation. Hopefully they can get it done (they estimate between 7-10 days weather permitting) in that time frame so I can enjoy a swim or two before heading back to work. I'll try and post pics of the progress.
