Hi Bill,

I don't know much about pools other than what I've learned in building ours, but be sure to get the excavation charges FIXED before signing anything. We have rock in our area, and I had the good fortune/presence of mind to demand fixed excavation costs.....otherwise it would have cost a fortune. They not only charge by the cubic yard of rock, but some by the hour, and then they use a Bobcat!........lol... (instead of a backhoe with hoe ram attachment.) You could spend another $6000 without blinking.

The fiberglass pool blanks are not that expensive. Why so much ($43k) for the pool? I'd do some more shopping if I were you. $43k can buy a basic gunite pool (maybe even a spa) in most areas I've heard of.
