These homeowners had been in their home 20 years and finally decided to put in a pool. Most of their kids had gone off to college or were married and they wanted something for the grandkids. I love working with folks like this because there is a different emotion to the project. It was like working with Clark Griswald from the movie "Christmas Vacation" as he was just proud to get the pool for his great family. We all became good friends throughout the project and during my last visit (right before Christmas), they gave me an incredible loaf of banana bread. I don't know why, but that simple loaf of bread said a lot.

We actually had to demo an above-ground pool to get started. They wanted the turbo twister slide and a basketball hoop for fun and games.
