Customer Reviews
Ok, if your in CA
The title of the book should be called then "CA Contrators Guide to Swimming Pool Construction". It didn't seem to me to be much more that an overview of what you would be getting yourself into if you decided to go after a C-53 California Swimming Pool Contrator's License.
Build your own Pool
I bought this book after I decided to build my own pool. Pool builders were quoting me $70,000 plus for what we wanted. With the information in this book and help from the city I saved $45,000 building my own pool. I was able to spend extra money on equipment upgrades, design improvements and back yard furniture. If your going to build your own pool you will need alot of information and this book will definitely help.
An awesome book
This is a great book and we are in Massachusetts not California. I don't know what the other reviews problem is. Help us tremendously with a great pool design. Has the ins and outs for this type of construction.
