dennis, Hey thanks for such good info.....If you could point me in the right direction to look online for Esther Wlliams pools to purchase on line, I could then compare to what they are asking. So far the sites i've gone to don't have prices on them.........I am waiting on 2 replies back. Just thought you might know..........I would fly you to southern IL and feed you a great steak if you installed my pool w/ dirtwork for $500........................
