Well guys I fought the good fight for over 6 months and went all 12 rounds but ended up losing by decision. We are getting a pool and fixing up the backyard. I thought a nice porch would be sufficient but my wife really loves the pool scene plus with 2 early teenagers maybe I can get them to stay home and their friends will just come here (where I can somewhat supervise). It's not the work or that I don't like a pool I just wanted to invest in some property instead, but she doesn't ask for much and supports me in all my adventures so let's do it. Besides Eddy Raven says "women are made for lovin and moneys' made to spend"
Plans include but not limited to:
14k gallon custom pool
New board on board privacy fence
Outdoor kitchen and bar
Fence for AC and pool equipment
Pergola with fire pit
Farm table for porch
Landscape lighting
Landscaping
Some sort of hammock set-up
They started digging yesterday after I moved my daughters doll/play house to the lease, which is 8'x8' and will get new deer view windows and a camp paint job (see pic below)
Once I got it moved they brought in the equipment. We talked to about 4 pool companies and ended up going with Puryear Custom Pools out of Plano due to reputation and value. So far we have been extremely pleased. Their operator, Pablito is a savage on that equipment. Watching him work was intriguing to say the least(bonus: for the cost of 3 guys lunch he leveled by yard behind the porch and cut in so drains to help with water run off, saved me a day in labor)
Before Picture
Smoothing out yard
And we have a hole
I will continue to update and keep y'all up to date on it's progress. Wish me luck and thanks for following along.
