A pool came with this house and land. We didn't go looking for one, but we have one now and it is nice. Haven't been in it yet. I had to climb the learning curve on the pumps and skimmers, etc.
We have a pool service that keeps the chemistry right and cleans it. weekly. The water temperature right now is 71°. Still a bit chilly for swimming. holler at me when the hot tub opens.

Get her this for 8k. Be done in a week. Hop could do it in 12 hours. If she uses it regularly for a year, you can consider something inground. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/04/full-45051-220714-pool.jpg) deck in 12 hrs, the damn pool would take forever. cost plus too, DUDE!

I had no idea pool contractors get paid on a timeline schedule- any construction I’ve ever been involved in you got paid based on actual progress- not time. better do it this way, you and contractor work out a schedule for completion and percentages based on amount of work done. pay ahead and you are on your own.

I hope to heck you insisted on a 15% or more retainage, without that you are asking for trouble no matter how above board the contractor seems.
think subs.

Congrats on your pool, don’t let the naysayers on here chit on your happiness. That’s why I try not to post things that I’m excited about. I don’t want to hear all the negativity and raining on my parade. I hope you and the family enjoy the hell out of your pool.

Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,
And greedily devour the treacherous bait.

I don’t want to hear all the negativity and raining on my parade. I hope you and the family enjoy the hell out of your pool. Thanks Coach. Just sharing a build. I didn't know it would grow legs in that direction. If anyone wants to know more about it, just send a message. It's a new process and might save you some money if you are planning on a pool. Later.

What does a 'Pool' and a 'Woman' have in common?
They both are very costly to maintain considering the time that you spend in them.
