Well...…..Here we go!
My Overlord (AKA Wife) has decided that she wants a pool this summer. I really didn't understand why we need a pool. The wonderful community where we live in NW Peoria has 3 pools. One heated and one with a water slide. So I expressed my thoughts. And guess what happened...….We compromised and will be swimming in our pool by summer!
I knew this compromise would manifest itself one day. So I started researching on this site about a year and a half ago, In preparation for the train named inevitability to arrive at the station. I have spent a year collecting all of the great reasons why we did not NEED a pool. I have educated myself with logical, fact based, reasonable arguments as to why we don't NEED a pool. I was ready and prepared to calmly explain all of the reasons we did not NEED a pool. Except for this.....
Honey, I understand all of that stuff, but I WANT a pool! Blink Blink. (Imagine the eyes blinking) Why does that always work? Why?
Anyway, While researching why we didn't need a pool. I have indirectly educated myself on all things pool!!!! So at least we have a good start.
We are most likely going the owner builder route. I happen to have 29 years of experience in construction. Mostly building hospitals. I don't have much concern buying out subs, listing equipment, inspections or scheduling....That's what I do.
With that being said. We do have 5 pool builders scheduled next week to take a look and provide pricing. Interested in seeing what the price range is. If it sounds reasonable we may go with a builder. We will see....
We are going to start this build with the finance stage going through to the first PARTY!!! A graduation party for my bride. She will be a RN in May!!!!!
Here are some pics of the backyard.....Pool will be in the gravel area.
The Overlord is coming......I gotta go!!!
