Thanks Jared, It's a big pool 4.5m by 9 m & access to do the work is not straight forward. The builder will have to knock down 2m of the 2-level retaining wall to put a ramp for the bobcat to drive in/out. The owner said "take it or leave it" & because of the state of the pool he...

Now I have a make a decision out of the following options: 1. It will cost me $5K to have the pool filled up with dirt + unknown costs to repair damage caused by the bobcat ( rebuild 2 m of the retaining wall + repair to the printed concrete paving area if possible). It will cost $1K more to...

Thanks Jamie, I've tried but I don't think I will get any discount. It's a good buy. I don't understand why the current owner could let the house with an almost empty pool & without a safety fence. I can't do anything until after the settlement and it will take time to have everything...
