    Beware that in our dry summer our gumbo soil has shifted a lot. Make sure there are no leaks, or if there are you have them fixed before closing on their dime. I had a return line leaking, it was a major pain to fix, but luckily I didn't have to bust up any concrete decking to get to it.

    What part near Houston?
    ~18K gal IG Gunite -- 1-HP Pentair Whisper Flo with new 2-speed motor. Intermatic T1000 Dual Speed Timer -- Tagelus 60D sand filter
    Hayward SWCG (up to 40K gal.) -- Polaris 280 and booster pump -- Rainbow (now Pentair) in-line chlorine Feeder.

    Very long dry spell indeed. Hopefully there will be no leaky pipes. I will definitely look things over very closely after closing. Thanks for the advice.
    The home is located in Magnolia, TX. Should be fun and my wife and I are looking forward to many days of swimming before the weather cools off.

    Thanks!

    I'm confused??? Your daughter would like "GREEN" hair? LOL.
    I am hoping this weekend I will be able to talk directly to the seller. (keeping fingers crossed).
    It will be one of many questions I will have for him.
    Thanks for the insight!

    Yeah, but if she's anything like the teenagers down here, I'm guessing she's rather go for bright green rather than copper green!! LOL
