Saturday, a pool company showed up at my place to give us a run down and quote.. We are looking at a 40K + pool as we envision it.. Let me upload some pictures so that I can show you all what we have to work with..

Seamless beach entry from the porch area.. fenced in at porches edge by a Mediterranean style 4 foot fence with self locking gate.. Beach entry raps around corner of porch into a slow incline into pool.. 12 inch step into 3.5 feet of water. Deepest will be set at 6 feet. 7 feet high turning slide which is over a water fall and cave where one can go under and hide for some relaxing water fall sounds.. 3 jets of water at the beach entry with illumination for the whole pool area with changing colors.. 12 feet wide at widest point length of pool exceeds 30 feet... Pictures coming..!

Picture this... edge of pool from the edge of porch and wraps around the corner..

Seamless pool surface begins at the wall of my formal living room outside wall..

Edge of beach entry starts at that corner and house wall..

Pool edge 10 feet from fence and wraps around that corner into a water fall and slide on the far end..

Pool goes all the way to the far end window, where the slide and deep area of pool will be at..

Wow....you guys are lucky. Where I live quotes for a basic gunite rectangle (no waterfall, beach, hot tub or palm trees) start in the $60k range. For a medium size free form with a beach area, waterfall and some landscaping quotes were in the $120k range! Needless to say, end of our dream!!!

Double very nice, I really respect "old school" business's that roll/reinvest in the changes that current business dictates. Software like that is not cheap, and you still have to maintain and staff it. Sounds like a win/win...good luck to you...My pool is currently 83 and lovely lol...
