I’ve been on here a few months now trying to learn as much as I can to prepare for my pool build. I’ve been on other sites too but this is by far the best. Lots of info and friendly people. Pool School was an excellent read and I plan on putting that pool math calculator to good use. I plan on making a contribution soon as I want to support such a helpful site. I’m thinking I’ll need a hat to protect my head from this scorching Texas heat while I brush some walls.
We’ve signed a contract and have HOA approval. The pool is outlined and utilities have been marked. We are just waiting on city permits to get started. So, while I’m waiting on permits, I figured I’d get this thread started.
I’ve always wanted a pool for my family and I’m excited to finally make this happen. We have a good size lot but the house is so long we have to put the pool on the left side of the backyard. Our back door basically backs up to the fence. There’s a small patio but it’s getting ripped up to run gas/electricity to the other side of the yard without encroaching on the 14ft. utility easement. Also, there are no windows from our living room that face the left side so we won’t be able to enjoy the view. We will be able to see it from our game room but it’s not the same.
Here is what we are about to tear up:
