So our pool guy went to the Woodlands folks and checked about our easement issue - he came over on Saturday and said sometimes they get it wrong and, even when they get it right, sometimes the utility company will sell the easement back if they don't need it...
When he called me today he confirmed we do have the 14 foot easement and he did not mention buying it out so I guess we're out of luck there.
So scratch the pool plan I posted before - we're now waiting on a new design... it should be here tomorrow. The really annoying thing is that we'll have to make the pool longer and narrower... which means more cost (or less pool) - the big driving factor in the pool cost is perimeter length... the cheapest pool (for the area you get to swim in) is a perfect circle. As soon as you start to move away from a circle, it gets more expensive for any given surface area.
So now we wait to see what the builder can come up with design wise - we have quite a few limitations so it's a bit stressful wondering what he can do!
But there are worse things to have to worry about than what shape the pool in the backyard is going to be!
