Hi, Rob,
Wow! That's an accurate, sobering post by Craig. Of course you can be your own GC and of course you can save some money but there's a lot of hassle involved trying to beat someone at something he does everyday....and has been doing it for years.
I think his figures are more accurate than the 40-50% someone else told you. It can certainly be done but prepare yourself for an intense, possibly frustrating episode.

I think Craig is probably right about this one, but it is definitely worth investigating. There are a couple websites out there, where they documented the process of GC'ing a gunite pool. One that comes to mind is something like, howibuiltmyownpool.com or net or something like that. Another one is poolnut.com, I think . . . Seems like I ran across these researching my pool the last several months. Anyway, either way you go, good luck to you. You're on this forum and that's a great start!!
