Thanks Ted!

We are in San Diego. So weather pretty consistent all year around; the lowest it ever gets is upper 40s, and rarely that. And not usually much over 80 in the summer.

We want a simple, rectangular pool -- I find the simplicity elegant. I was thinking maybe pebble tek bc I like a darker blue water. Maybe some tiles around the edge? Nothing too flashy. No water features, etc. The pool is relatively large -- 15 x 30, maybe? I haven't actually measured. I think the pool is well located in the yard and the heater is new (5 years, previous owners barely used it). We also wanted to install solar heating.

Any ideas appreciated! I was trying to compile a list of the issues/decisions that will come up during the remodel, since I've never owned a house with a pool before.

Thank you!
