Thanks for all the reply's. We went this weekend to check out some pools and references for the contractor we liked. They must have all be relatives. Everyone we talked to gave this guy an A+. Not one of them had a complaint. The down side was that the size pool we were looking at seemed kind of small. We originally wanted an 16x32 rectangle, but liked the kidney style better. Bad thing is, the Kidney size we liked was the 20x40. We think that's a little bigger and more expensive than we would like. We talked to the contractor this morning who will be out tomorrow with the price of an 18x35 kidney. Hope this size works along with the price. Getting more expensive and we have not even signed yet...
