    Well...we just can't decide now. I've wavering between an 12 X 24 Intex Ultra Frame, or a Doughboy Sand dollar II 12 X 20. The second choice is more expensive, but it looks like we will need to extend the concrete slab any way to accommodate any pool. Might a Doughboy help with the resale of a house, if we didn't take it with us?
    Any one have any suggestions?

    Why would you need to extend the slab? AG pools don't usually need this and are constructed on level ground. Is it a local code or a particular aspect of your space?
