Here is a little about our project. I have been talking with the builder/installer, since July of last year. They make their own fiberglass pools and are only a couple of hours away; so, I stopped by to get a tour of their facilities and learn about their processes, materials, workmanship, and quality control. They also had a few pools installed on site. Everything looked pretty good. They gave me a huge list of 1,200 references. I called everyone in my county that had a pool installed by them in the last five years. A lot of people, but I wish I had done so with my first pool since I had a number of isues with the builder. I think everyone called me back and all had positive experiences. We also went to see a customer’s pool and it looked great.
We placed a deposit last November just before we moved in to our new house to ensure we saved a date for an April install. And, of course duirng the downtime, I came up with many ways to increase cost.
They started last Tuesday. We have a very small yard (40 deep x 70 wide with 10 ft. setbacks all around) so this pool is a tight fit. Here are pictures from the first two days. My lot ends at the grass line and the area they initially placed the pool while digging is a vacant lot for a new house. Day one they dug the hole and installed the equipment/plumbing and day two they set the pool. They were supposed to hook up the electrical tomorrow, but moved it to Thursday due to rain. Glass tile for the waterline should also be this week. Next week should be a retaining wall, concrete collar, and paver patio. They plan to be done by the week of 5/4 and my fence should be installed by a separate company on 5/12. Hopefully goes all well and we are swimming soon.
