“When asked why a 22-year-old pool company that has been through a couple of recessions might fail, Kelly said he believes Hallmark officials may not have anticipated the homebuilding industry would fall off so precipitously.”
I would be pissed if I had a big hole in my backyard and couldn’t get it completed. Not to mention the money that is perhaps lost…
Happened to us when we were house hunting in 1993. Except, it was the homeowner who ran out of cash while on a poorly thought out remodel and walked away from the home (to add to the tragedy, I think his family fell apart too). We were offered a good discount for the “unfinished pool”. We said no thanks. With a small child, we did not want a house with a hole in the ground at any price!

By the way, you can not just fill in a pool when you tire of it.
A friend, whose kids were grown, got tired of maintaining a pool no one used anymore found out that there are regulations for getting rid of a pool; she had to have everything removed and then fill in the hole. It was so expensive that she opted to keep the damn pool.

an friend of a friend is affected by this… sounds like they might be totally screwed out of about $20k. they really thought they were going with a solid, reputable company too. the article says that the state contractors license board is investigating hallmark for criminal &/or civic violations. any idea what that could mean?
