| We are reviewing proposals from pool builders in North Texas and quite honestly are a little surprised at how expensive the pools are. This is our first experience with building a pool so my only "experience" is reading this board. I'm concerned the contractor may be taking advantage of our inexperience? I would really appreciate your honest opinion and suggestions on the proposal.

| You might want to try and get a few more bids and see how much they are?? |
|
| I'm in North Texas and that bid doesn't seem all that high. I do agree with txcajun that you should get another bid though, my opinion is that anytime you are spending more than about $10K always get at least two bids. What are your three water features? Just wondering since I only see the 1 Intelliflo and no additional pumps for water features. |
