ABOUT ME

Paul photo

I'm a fun-loving husband and father of 3 that enjoys spending pool days with the family! After years of above ground pool fun, we took the leap and got our first in-ground pool installed. What an exciting journey it has been! I have learned so much along the way, and use this site as an outlet to share everything I've learned, researched, or randomly thought of that I found to be interesting. For more info, see my About Me page.
