Re: Poolman & Us


Looks great! Do you have a website? I'm interested in seeing more of your work.

Re: Poolman & Us


Bls, Thanks. We don't have a website. We are putting together a website for the excavating side of the business now.

I am having problems with how to present the rock work on a site.

If you are anywhere near Connecticut come by and see what we do.

Re: Poolman & Us


I'm in central NJ, so the drive might be a bit far. Where are you in Connecticut?
So are these boulder placement jobs the biggest part of your business? Or do you get just as many masonry or excavation jobs?

Re: Poolman & Us


Bls,

We have phased out the masonry business. Lack of skilled masons.

Dollar wise the boulder work is 70 % of our business last year and this year.

Most years before that it can be 30 to 50%. We are not expecting it to be as important next year.

We are in the Northwestern most corner of CT. 2 hours above NYC. You should contact Rusknet who must be fairly close to you and come up. I'll buy lunch.

Re: Poolman & Us


Very nice Nick, those boulders look like they could get pretty frustrating to work with.
