My first experience with
swimming pool construction came at around the age
of 10 or 11 years old. I
remember coming home from school and seeing my Dad
with a garden hose spread over the lawn in the rough
shape of a pool and some redwood stakes driven into
the ground to hold the hose in position. In
the days that followed, he began digging the hole which
was to become our new swimming pool. At the time
I think my Mom believed he had lost his mind.
He
rented a small trailer and methodically dug out the
shell with a shovel and then towed the trailer across
town and shoveled it out onto a vacant lot with a sign “Clean
Fill Dirt Wanted.” Day after day he kept
at it, and I remember the neighbors on both sides lending
a hand with the digging, probably feeling sorry for
him. Before the end of that summer we were swimming
in our new pool, and then he became a hero to our family. He
performed all the construction himself, including all
the pool plumbing and electrical. We even got
a home movie of him standing in waist deep water as
the pool filled, wiring the underwater light!! (I always
wondered if the circuit was hot!!)
In the years
that followed, I did pool maintenance during summers
for some spending cash and finally followed my dream
and got my C-53 California swimming pool contractors
license. Now with over 100 pools under my belt,
I still get a thrill from turning an ordinary yard
into a “backyard oasis,” or restoring an
older pool back into a beautiful updated thing of beauty. Let
us make your dream of a new pool a reality.
