Hello! This is my first post, so please forgive any mistakes. We've been looking at putting in a pool since we bought our house 6 years ago and I think we are finally ready! We are a family of 3: me, my husband and our 4 yr old daughter. We have also have 4 dogs and a cat. We have had two pool companies out and the first one was pricey and they didn't do turnkey projects--we have a slope in the backyard and will need a retaining wall. We got our first complete bid today; any input on what to ask, equipment, etc is very much appreciated! We've never owned a pool before, so we are total newbies. Thank you!
