Hello TFP community,
After a few months of backing-and-forthing over layout etc. I'm just about ready to put ink to paper and sign the contract on this pool. After an additional few weeks of poring over the good advice found here I think I've got a solid build lined up but humbly request the knowledgably folks here to provide a cold eyes review for anything I may yet be overlooking or should question.
I'll be sure to post the construction photos as things start to move along. The builder estimates 8 weeks completion from day of excavation.
