Highly Recommended\r
Cost was a main consideration, but I had other hurdles like my neighbors (access to backyard) and the city. Dan really did a nice job helping clear out the hurdles for us.\r
It’s great. We love it. I’m a goof and lament not going bigger deeper, but I didn’t have the cash at the time so it’s really a mute point. Its been very easy to run and maintain. The auto cover has been a little problematic, but I’m glad we have it. My gas bills are surprising low for keeping a pool at 89F.\r
The concrete is great. No worries about a liner with the labs, kids, drunk adults etc. But I do wish it was a smooth as it was when installed. Its already gotten pretty rough:( I liked the autovac, but I’ve been without it for a season. (hint, hint) The autocover is easily the best feature. It’s been a bit of work keeping it clean, but it retains heat very well and keeps the pool clean. The slide is very popular with the kids and drunk adults.\r
Its wonderful having a pool. The family loves it, including our labs. The city pool is only a few blocks away but its cold, its crowded, has hours of operation, and no booze. Our pool is never cold, rarely crowded, and has a floating cooler. Its open a push of a button, ready to go. Its a destination – We haven’t gone on a summer vacation since the pool. That saves money! Everyone just wants to come to our house. I like it – Every once in while its nice to spend cash on something you really enjoy. I love going in after a long day working and relax.\r
I just built my house in 2008. I’ve dealt with many many contractors. Dan is easily the most responsive that I’ve dealt with. He’s been great. I highly recommend him.\r
