Its part of the "America dream" and is something the generations have aspired to.</span></span></p><span style="font-size: 7.5pt; color: black; line-height: 200%; font-family: ‘Verdana’,’sans-serif’; letter-spacing: 1pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: ‘Verdana’,’sans-serif’; letter-spacing: 1pt"><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">The fact is however; that most people have very little experience with having an in ground pool pool installed in their backyard, so it will be a learning experience where the information that you gain will be of no use because you most likely will never do it again.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> </p><div style="text-align: center"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="425" height="282"><param name="movie" value="../images/banners/16a.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="wmode" value="" /><embed src="../images/banners/16a.swf" wmode="" quality="high" menu="false" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="282"></embed></object></div>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">So do your homework, so you don’t have to learn expensive lessons on the job! There are many types of in ground pools to choose from now, including solid fiberglass pools that a crane plunks into your back yard, so you should make yourself familiar with all of them before you choose.</p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Having a water feature that flows into the pool is something that more and more people are having done but they can quickly run up the cost of your pool. Consider having a more simple water feature set over near your entertainment area that doesn’t share pool water and you can shave a few thousand off the price and besides people will get more enjoyment out of it that way.</p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Your pool contractor will mention "excavation costs" and let you know that there are "unknowns" that have to be given consideration to once they break ground. What this means, is that if there is solid rock or "hard pan" type substrate that can’t be removed by conventional methods your cost can shoot through the roof.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> </p><div style="text-align: center"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="425" height="282"><param name="movie" value="../images/banners/16b.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="wmode" value="" /><embed src="../images/banners/16b.swf" wmode="" quality="high" menu="false" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="282"></embed></object></div>  <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: ‘Verdana’,’sans-serif’; letter-spacing: 1pt">You will want to find out before hand if there is a possibility of solid rock under your yard before you sign a contract, because with the cost of rock blasting and debris removal running upwards of $10,000 per day you may want to consider other pool options if you are living on solid rock.</span></p><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: ‘Verdana’,’sans-serif’; letter-spacing: 1pt"><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNoSpacing">Written by Chuck Tabla.
