Permit Update

Well last week was crazy - those who are our friends on Face Book know that we took a week away from pool preparation due to work schedules. Now we are all back home and checked in on the permit process.

The electric company has signed off on the permit and it's now with the city of Rowlett. Hopefully Venture Pools will get the paperwork from the city by the end of the week. They say they could start within a day or two after getting the paperwork.

Before we made the final decision to put in a pool we did a great deal of research. We read a lot of discussion boards, blogs and even view rip off reports website to make sure we were dealing with a reputable pool company. So many people complained about how long it took and/or the lack of communication. So far (knock on wood) we haven't had that issue. We were told up front by Venture Pools that the permit process would take a while and that being dependent on others to get the paperwork swiftly sometimes didn't work out as hoped. We fully expected the permit process to take a while. I think this is our second week on the permits, not really sure as last week was too crazy to keep track. None the less we were told what to expect. I guess other pool companies may not communicate that information well enough nor provide updated information as you move through the permit process - thank goodness Venture Pools does! Love those folks.
