Agree completely. My point was that the contractor can file the paperwork and do the legwork. Then you can verify the results. I was just wondering why the vendor didn't start the process with the ARC. My pool vendor (All seasons) made sure that it was the very first thing done before they went ahead with any other permits etc. In his words "You don't want to commit any cash before we have approval".
