Hi Chris,
We got two quotes from Thatcher for a pool. I got an unofficial quote from Max at Blaiser and just waiting on that written quote from him, then I'll pass along. Hoping you might be able to take a look and help us understand if there's anything significant missing from these quotes that we should be aware of. My understanding from Max was that his ~$125k quote was 'all inclusive' including 4' of concrete around the perimeter of the pool - obviously we would then have to work with Dale on any additional concrete patio space, a fence, and the electrical/pluming to get it all connected. Am I missing anything else significant?
I had sent over some times we had available this week - any luck connecting with the geothermal companies? I can send over more times if we need to meet next week instead.
Thanks!

If you think we're making any organizational mistakes or sizing any of our spaces too small, we'd welcome that feedback.Previously we had talked about a $1,150,000 estimate, which did not include the geothermal. Max gave me a quote for about $125,000 for his pool package, and we've added a detached/unfinished two car garage with a bathroom for the pool area, along with a good amount of additional concrete patio space and a pool fence. Am I correct to be thinking we're closer to $1.4M now? Just want to make sure I'm not too far off as we make these adjustments.I had heard of Haley and Tatro Plumbing & Heating as being two options, with Bergerson Caswell or UMR Geothermal up in the cities as being the ones that likely do the drilling (but I'm guessing Haley has a preference). I think trusting the local name in Haley is probably the route we'd go, but I'd like to just get two bids so we can at least make sure we're asking the right questions and getting the right equipment. I'm curious what they'll think of the complexity of the job, vertical vs. horizontal loops and what ground tests they might want/need to do ahead of time. I've got other questions about integrating this with our hot water heater and whether we should be thinking about integrating this system to heat the pool or just use a seperate gas powered pool heater.Appreciate the help!- JamesOn Thu, Jun 11, 2026 at 11:54 AM Chris Drury <realtor@chrisdrury.com> wrote:Hi James and Brittany,I have received your update and the revised plans. I am going to look these over and discuss the details with Dale shortly.It will probably make sense to meet with both the geothermal and pool folks before we get too deep, just to make sure that everything is well-coordinated. On that note, did you have a particular vendor you wanted to use for the geothermal work? Dale has some personal experience with Haley Comfort Systems, which could be an option to consider.I’ll be in touch once I've had a chance to connect with Dale.Best regards,ChrisOn Thu, Jun 11, 2026, 10:13 AM Drury, Chris <ChrisDrury@edinarealty.com> wrote:From: James Yaworski <yaworskijames@gmail.com>

Subject: Re: 1429 Skyview - Update[EXTERNAL]Thanks for that Robert.I'll hold on my questions until you're done - obviously the improvement to the structure comes with a cost, so I'd just like to understand whether we're spending $2,000 to avoid a support beam or $20,000.Appreciate the help!- JamesOn Wed, Jun 10, 2026 at 9:40 AM Progressive Plan Design, LLP <progressiveplandesign@gmail.com> wrote:HelloEmail received,I will reach out before I get started with any questions.We will use a floor truss system to keep the support beams to a min. and hide a lot of them flush in the floor.ThanksRobertOn Wed, Jun 10, 2026 at 9:03 AM James Yaworski <yaworskijames@gmail.com> wrote:Hi Robert,Depending on whether we have enough time left in this building season and Dale's availability, we may push for a start date later this summer/fall.The attached includes our drawing, with the inclusion of the pool we want to put in. Not sure how much that affects things on your end, but I've included a small addition on the back side of the detached garage to include some storage space for pool items, along with a small bathroom. Our intention for the detached garage is that it would not be finished/heated.Just including some of the notes from prior emails:- uncertain about how tornado shelters work and the door requirements to make it safe - if the door is industrial looking, we'll want to stick it in the mechanical room in the garage, otherwise it would be great if the master bedroom closet could serve this function.- staircase added to garage - hope is to turn garage attic into useful space for storage/etc.- 10' ceilings on main floor - thinking 8' for second floor. What will be a requirement for main floor support beams?Thanks for the help!- James & Brittany507.517.7161--Have a great day!Robert L. HemenwayBrent L.
