Brown's Want a Pool - April 2016

A picture for inspiration only.

Early this year (2016) I had an realization. I want a pool. Our friends, Matt and Mel were putting a pool into their newly built house over in Punta Gorda, FL and that was just enough to push me over the edge.  Chris didn't feel the same. Don't worry he quickly came around. This is our pool experience.

I knew what I wanted, no frills, in my mind the following should cost $30,000.
- square small pool
- deepest would be 5' shallow would be 3'
- I wanted a beach shelf for the kids and maybe a sitting area in the pool
- A spa was a must have
- Chris wanted a screen, I wasn't that into it, but okay.

In April 2016, I booked our first appointment with a Pool Builder: Blue Haven Pools. The guy was nice enough, but when we started talking details, he just nodded his head. Finally, Chris got out a pen and paper and started sketching the pool with dimensions. I was not too thrilled. Below is the quote that we received from him. We decided, the price did not matter. We didn't feel good about contracting with this company after the presentation we received. BUT! STEP ONE IS COMPLETE AND THE POOL IS GOING TO HAPPEN!
