SOME more pool thoughts. we put salt water pool in just love it softer on skin also!! really nice.

also we choose concrete vs fiberglass and this is why. We learned from my parents (who also live here and own a pool) that with the fiberglass the steps come as they are. With concrete you can build the steps to your own liking meaning making them shorter MORE steps so as you age you can still get out of your pool very easily !! We did it and love it. Most people don't consider their steps when designing. Just a tip that may be of some help

GO for it and enjoy!! You don't have to go to community pools to socialize. So many other activities here where you can socialize. And if you feel like going down to community pool you can but believe me once you get your own , you won't ever want to. It's heaven !!

I trust you realize it's not really salt water, it's just another form of chlorine.

yes but they call Sunpools for the pool, why do that when you can go to Sunpools direct......and save a lot.

Not sure I'm drinking this cup of koolaide. We built our pool with another contractor. We did sit down with T&D. Told them we were looking for a free form pool. 3 weeks later we received an email with a pdf scan of the proposed design. It was a rectangle. Told them we wanted the free form. 3 weeks later received another pdf via email, they removed the rectangle and pasted a kidney bean in it's place. Just my experience.

I like our pool because it doesn't look like all the other (T&D) pools.

If you look around they are very much the same, little creativity or innovation.

I say no pool.... The neighborhood pool is a gathering place. Several of us go

In the evening and solve the world problems.

You can still go to the neighborhood pool and have one in your yard.

But we're told the neighborhood pools prefer that everyone wears one of those wet, clingy things.......what are they called...... swimsuits?

We prefer NOT to.....in our own PRIVATE pool.
