Splash Town in Windrose

As I had mentioned before “The Madge” insisted that we have a pool installed primarily for Her, Cooper, Grandkids, Our Kids, Relatives, Friends and me. Well the long wait is over. On June the 9^th they start staking out the yard and the following day they start digging. Weather permitting it should be finished in one month, hopefully in time for Erin and Caden’s visit for the Fourth of July.

What is unbelievable is we had three custom pool companies come out and look things over. Two actually gave us a bid and after we made certain modifications to the plans only one gave us a final quote. I would like to make some further minor changes (adding an outlet or a water faucet) but I am afraid that they too might disappear like the others and we would be back to square one.

I read somewhere that the U.S. is in a recession or people are giving up certain luxuries because prices are spiraling out of control. I wish someone would tell the pool companies in Texas about these hard times. One pool builder does 200 pools per year, this is a small custom builder that has a staff of two with everything subcontracted out. I don’t know how much he makes per year but his he lives in a BIG house and his company car is a new Porsche. I am now thinking of starting up a pool company and looking for a partner, can anyone say “Dig the hole here” in Spanish.
