14 Question to Ask A Pool Company Before You Dig
Pools are a big investment and once you start digging and tear up a yard you will wish you had all these questions answered. These are questions everyone should ask when building a pool:
- Do you stick to the contract price or change it for any reason?
- Will you do addendums in that case and discuss with your client the changes and choices?
- Do you set an approximate end date and follow a schedule to see it meet deadline ( bad weather days excluded)
- Do you have your own crews that excavate, rebar, gravel, plumb, gunite, coping, tile, plaster and pour concrete? Or do you sub it out and have to play the waiting game?
- If you sub out the work what proof is being given subcontractors are being paid?
- What about relaying sod or Lanscaping or lighting?
- Are there people working in your yard and on the pool daily? 40 hours a week or on Saturdays?
- Will the person in charge be on site daily and during important processes and stages to catch any mistakes made?
- If there are mistakes who pays to fix them?
- Is there an office front and someone to always answer your calls? Especially during emergencies?
- Do you answer your clients phone calls when they call?
- Do you have licensed plumbers in their own company vehicles to move the sewer line if needed and hook up gas or a license electrician in their own company vehicles for lights and grounding the pool?
- Do you get permits and inspections from the city… also sewer and electrical inspections and share them with the homeowner?
- Do you have guarantees on design, gunite, plaster, Lanscaping and Even workmanship?

Don't Loan Money to Friends - It's Not Worth the Risk
It can be tempting to loan money to friends in need, but it’s important to remember that it is a risk – one that can damage relationships and leave you out of pocket. Financial advisor Jane Smith warns: “Never loan money to friends. They won’t pay you back and it will piss you off and cause the friendship to end.”
Loaning money often starts out as an act of kindness, but it can quickly become a source of tension between friends. If someone doesn’t pay back what they owe, it can cause resentment and hurt feelings on both sides. Not only that, but if you don’t have a written agreement in place beforehand, then there is no legal recourse for getting your money back. (Thank God for Texts right? THAT will hold up in court)
It is possible for friends to lend each other money without damaging their relationship, but only if certain conditions are met. Firstly, both parties should agree on the terms of the loan beforehand – such as how much will be lent, when repayment is due and how much interest will be charged (if any). It is also important that both parties communicate openly about the loan; if one party needs more time or assistance with repayment then they should speak up before tensions start building up.
When borrowing from a friend, always make sure to express your gratitude for their help – this will show them that you understand how generous they are being by lending you the funds. Lastly, always ensure that you keep up with repayments or else risk damaging your relationship with them permanently.
While loaning money may seem like an easy way out of financial difficulty at first glance, it usually does more harm than good in the long run – so think twice before reaching into your wallet. As Jane Smith says: “Don't loan money to friends - it's not worth the risk!”
