Post: In ground swimming pools - foreman trying to cut corners

Hi, we are building a below ground swimming pool at one of my husbands flips. His foreman seems to have no end of trick to trying to keep the costs down, and I am concerned that the costs he cut could leave to swimming pool in a fragile/dangerous position. What is the average cost you would associate with building a below ground swimming pool? What are some of the ways you have seen it go wrong personally, and what change or decision made that happen?

Remembering a large aquatic and leisure center in the town of my youth (Wave pool, water slide, olympic lap pool, etc.), I was curious how translatable the idea is in today's market. How do you gather funding partners for a large project like this? Would the city contribute to such a large project? How much capital would be required to get this off the ground?

I have heard of farmers trying to maximize the value of their land by using high end Monsanto seeds. Considering how low agricultural land can be valued, what other methods of increasing land value can be used?

Hello BP Community, managing REI is hard! I am looking for an easy to use personal finance tracking app to make everything a little easier.

I have tried mint, but have not had much joy as they don't support integration for all my financial institutions. Any ideas or suggestions?
