Key project elements
Installing a pool at a lakeside property seemed like an oxymoron, but for owner-builder Jason DeLong, it was the key to creating a vacation home that appealed to both his family and renters. The property's natural surroundings at the Lake of the Ozarks were a major selling point, highlighted by two bald eagles nesting in the backyard. The downside? The neighbors had a swimming pool, and Jason's kids wanted one too.
