IF YOU WERE LOOKING TO BUY < in havasu… what would be more important...pool, or no pool, rv garage, or pool???
why not a fiberglass pool?Gunite pool and RV garage. I would not live in Havasu without a pool.
My next door neighbor in Havasu has had so many problems with the skin blistering. How do you fix it?? Grind it out and new fiberglass. A year later the bubble comes back??? This has been going on for 10 years. My gunite pool has 3M quartz mixed into the plaster which looks great and at 9 years it still looks new. He has also had the tile border at the top of the pool fall off a least 3 times. They come out and peel it off and stick it back on.why not a fiberglass pool?
I think of it this way,... whats the difference if you leave your boat in the water... or fill it with water???My next door neighbor in Havasu has had so many problems with the skin blistering.

and part 2...are fiberglass pools easier to maintain???
As long as you have water it is all good. Winter is coming and the pools are sad!!!I went with option 3. I got a 12x8 swim spa. It stayed around 86 during the summer and will be 102 next month. Very easy to maintain and keep clean. I can float in it like a pool and if I get sick of it I can remove with a sawsall.
Dave what would the kids pick?You know we talked about this eight years.. I don’t get why anyone hates on a fiberglass pool. Was easier all the way around and easily fixable.
That said if I had to pick one or the other I’d pick the garage.. Stacy would pick the pool.. that’s why we had to get both.

I would say you did it the smart way... way easier to add a pool than a rv garage...and cheeper..Wife said a pool is a must in Havasu. We bought a new build without a pool. 6 months later, we just signed a contract for a pool build. After living through my first summer her I concur, a pool is a must.
We have a pontoon with a big ol wake tower on it though too. So an RV garage is also a must.
I suppose it depends whether or not you are a winter visitor or a summer visitor. Most summer visitors come here for the lake and could probably get by without a pool but it’s awfully damn nice to have an option when the lake gets blown out. Snowbirds don’t necessarily come here to go boating or swimming but some do both.guess we need a part 3...what if it was just as intended, a vacation home....who would have ever thought that people would be leaving beautiful sunny southern cal... to live in the desert...but I guess if you can't afford to live there... you have to live somewhere..
so anyway.... what would you look for in a vacation home..
Same here. Wife said NO way on living here if we didn't have a pool and I agreed. We bought a house with an RV garage and a big flat backyard. Two months after we moved here full time the pool was started. Nothing like coming off the lake, putting the boat away and jumping in the pool with a cold beer. I don't drink on the lake if I'm the skipper that day.Wife said a pool is a must in Havasu. We bought a new build without a pool. 6 months later, we just signed a contract for a pool build.

on that house, the idea was a pool right where the turf is,...and the idea is to be able to look over the pool, and out to the lake view at the same time...same with the spa,... I went with fiber glass over gunite because of the time to heat vs always ready..... for us we use the spa way less because by the time we get it heated ...don't wanna use it anymore...we have a pool and spa at our vegas home,...but like said, if your gonna live full time, you need a pool,...Used my finger sketch up skills to give you an idea of what backyard could of been, lol
For me pool and spa would of been center of backyard
Bbq island, eating area would be up where your current spa gazebo area is. View attachment 803479 View attachment 803480
