Although I do write reviews across the board, I'd decided to let this nightmare go. UNTIL the jerk that came to pick up materials at our home today had the audacity to tell my husband, "Y'ALL REALLY DIDN'T WANT A POOL, DID YOU?" THAT got my dander up, so I've decided to do this review as bad as it is. No. 1. A MESSAGE TO JODY: Jody, you need to become a politician. Salesmen & Politicians have a big thing in common.They lie through their teeth. For every issue that arose before the crew came out here to start, including the time frame one, I reminded you of things you'd told us; your response was either that we misunderstood you, we didn't understand you, or you wouldn't have said that. Well, we KNOW what you told us on that sales call. But this is the kicker, JODY. After we cancelled the build, you called & I spoke with you. I never ONCE mentioned the down payment we had made to you. I fully understood that the contract stated that it was non-refundable, so that was a no-brainer. YOU brought up the down payment. Something you didn't need to do. But because you did, you then proceeded to lie & lie & lie again about the "reasons" you couldn't refund the down payment. TOTALLY UNNECESSARY, JODY! Wanna know how I know you lied? Because when Josh was here the day before the build was to start, I asked him how the build goes. He told us that the initial dig was for the shallower parts of the pool. Once that was done, he'd get a measurement of the pool, get the liner & cover ordered & it would be 3-4 weeks for those to come in. In the meantime, the deeper parts would be dug. You clearly weren't aware of his & our conversation because in yours & my phone call, you stated to me in so many words, the following: "can't refund the deposit because I've already ordered the liner and cover." YOU HADN'T! WE HADN'T EVEN BEGUN THE DIG YET! Then you had to embellish your story, Jody; "because y'all changed y'alls mind about the size of the pool, I had to pay out of my personal pocket for the first liner & cover I had ordered. So I lost personal funds". WOW, JODY! WHAT A PATHETIC LIAR YOU ARE! You never ordered the first liner either!! Further, remember what you told us on that initial sales call? "As things progress, y'all are gonna change y'alls mind about a lot of things". It wasn't even two weeks after your initial call out here that we phoned to ask you if it were possible to change the size & location of the pool! You told us that was no problem! HOW CAN ANYONE TRUST ANYTHING THAT COMES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH? OH, LET ME ANSWER THAT. THEY CAN'T! Remain our friend? No thanks. We don't need a friend like you, Jody.
MY NO. 2 MESSAGE IS TO THAT A--HOLE THAT CONFRONTED MY HUSBAND THIS MORNING. Listen, you moron! Did you not see the WORK that my husband has done to move our irrigation to go around the pool? Did you not see the ginormous hole on the side of the house where my husband dug it out to open up the irrigation system to hook the pool up to? Did you not see the two large sections of fencing my husband took out to allow your equipment to pass through? Oh, we just ENJOY all of that extra work, tearing up our yard,& opening our fence for fun! And now we've got to go back & repair everything. Had nothing to do with "wanting" a pool & trying to get everything set up for it.
Bottom line is that the reason we cancelled the build is because Jody DID tell us that a large trackhoe would be coming up our driveway, but it would have rubber tracks. He lied. Our drive is way too long & decorative to allow an iron track trackhoe come in & destroy it. Jody could have cared less if our driveway was destroyed. Not his & he ain't gotta pay for it. To both Jody AND this other jerk...We DID attempt an alternative route. The grass side of our house. However, as we told Josh, we would have to get permission from our neighbor to encroach on his property AND to cut back his cherry tree. We DID talk to him & he graciously gave us permission to do so as long as we repaired the mess on his property when all was done. BUT when we went out there to flag our sprinkler heads & our property line, we realized that your heavy tandum dump truck filled with wet mud & your trackhoe were going to be crossing over Water, Sewage, AND Gas lines. Since the little forklift sunk 3-4 inches in our rain sogged ground when you delivered materials (AFTER WE TOLD JOSH TO GIVE THE WEEKEND TO THINK THINGS OVER & BEFORE EVEN 15 MINUTES PASSED MATERIALS WERE DELIVERED), we were HIGHLY concerned about this heavy equipment crossing those utility lines & sinking down FEET into the ground chancing breakage of those lines that WE would be responsible for! SO DOES OUR CHANGE OF MINDS ABOUT BUILDING A POOL SEEM UNREASONABLE? If is does, tough. It is OUR property, OUR concern,& quite frankly, for a business that has been operating for 30 years, you should, by now have heavy equip. mats AND smaller backhoes. THAT would have saved this build. read more
