While we were waiting for Jim, the salesman, at the pool store last weekend, we were looking at the display room walls covered with prize-winning pool designs. We’ve done this before to kill time while we’re waiting for assistance, but there are so many awards on so much wall space that this is the first time we got to the wall with our pool on it.
This is one section of an award-covered wall, including our pool.
And here’s “our” plaque. Third place, yes, but still an award-winning design. The designer told us at the time that this was the first time he designed brick trim in the deck area rather than just using it around the edges of the pool itself. (There’s more brick trim around the ladder across the pool, but you can’t see it very well in the sunlight.)
