I see many post here that are very excited about their new pools so I'm guessing for those of you that things are meeting expectations. When I decided to build a pool, I met with one builder, looked at two of his builds, got a price, signed a contract and looked no further.
During the sales portion, he was very patient, seemed to answer all my questions and I had a good feeling about him. I was excited when he said he could start in March and my little girl was going to have most of the summer to use it. My excitement started dwindling as I began to realize more and more that he was not going to do as he said.
I have now given up on any expectations that the pool will be finished in time to use it this year. I no longer trust anything he tells me. His communication is poor and the only times he's been here have been for dig day or to collect money. His is prompt and communicates well when it's payday!
I am now approaching 5 months after when the pool was supposed to be started and what I have to show for it is a plumbed and steel shell with tile at the water line. It should have been finished a month and half ago.
So for those of you who are excited, what's your experience been like? FYI, I'm near Athens, GA
