Won't do this one myself...I COULD...but I think I'll get the pros on it this time...

Finally getting around to the pool....already got a quote and design(before gettin side tracked)a while back from the company we are prolly going with. I'll call tomorrow and get 3-4 more contractors out here and maye get some fresh ideas on design and take it back to our guys...

Maybe u got a design for us?...


Anyways dumbodians...I'll keep ya updated with specs and pics and all...


Do u feel the excitement in the air?!...

Pools are never a good investment and usually end up being unused eye candy. In the end you spend way more buying/maintaining the pool than it'll ever return. But if cost is no concern and you plan on paying someone to maintain it, I say spend away.

If the pool is your wife's idea, don't fall for that trick! She just wants a pool boy to replace you.

Make it in the shape of a Les Paul or a Flying V body. V would be neat... shallow areas where the wings are, then it gets deep where they meet. Or you could just hang yourself in a closet, that would be acceptable as well.

Consider the soothing effect of an elipse shaped pool with an island centre, you could install a bbq or a waterslide for your kids or whatever the island. Alternatively you could just throw yourself in front of a large truck, that's cool too.

My parents-in-law have a swimming pond rather than a pool. There's no active cleaning system or heating system for the water.
The water flows from the main basin into a lower basin where natural filtration and cleaning of the water happens through soil and plants and the cleaned water is pumped back into the main basin.

I was a bit skeptical at first as well, when my father-in-law said he was considering it, but now that I've seen it and swam in it, it's actually much nicer than a stale unnatural looking pool. The way it's integrated into the garden is really nice and you're not looking at this monstrous and tacky looking azure blue pool but at something that looks like it's part of the garden. The water's simply clean as well and the best thing is that you don't need to put chemical additives into the water to keep it clean.

IMO, something like this is aesthetically far more pleasing than this.

Lol no...we didn't do a bunch of rock features (cuz they are gay). Those things add 5-25k per feature to price... And they are super unpractical and ruin the fun...

Does look like something you'd see at a holiday resort =/. I hate the curves, prefer straight lines and ditch that stupid stone lining the top, looks like a renovated council house. Other than that, it's a pool.

You also need a mosaic of Q3W.
