Thanks for the advice. I was planning to negotiate a better deal. Now I have a ballpark.

Also great to know Timberline is bottom of the line for db. I was guessing as much when I found it was only 48" tall.

I want to install just ONE pool (or have it installed) so I'll hold out for something better. Back to search mode. I'm sure I'll post a couple more thread along the way in the next few weeks.

FYI: My back yard has a nice deck we built 3 years ago, then a nearly-level space about 18' until closest part of our back fence. Given space requirements and our desire to have at least some new decking around the pool this pretty much constrains us to 12' wide. If I go wider I need to move the pool closer to a gentle downhill slope... and I don't want to dig TOO much to get level. I've read enough to know it must be L E V E L and building up to make an area level is not recommended.
