ODREB cautions, however, that only over a period of time are these averages useful for establishing trends and making comparisons. ideal spot tor your pool, it's a good idea to pick a level, sunny or partially sunny area. Generally, a southern location is best. The sun helps to keep the water warmer (a pool heater also helps). Also keep the direction of pre- vailihng winds in mind when choosing a location for your pool. As well, consider access- ibility and the view from your home. Most munici- palities require that you provide fencing around your pool for security. Also be sure to check your local building codes to see what permits are required and, if in fact, you will be able to install a pool. Re- member that your taxes and insurance rates are li- able to go up once your poolisinstalled. When planning, it's im- portant to be realistic in your expectations. If you have a relatively small backyard, you probably won't want your pool to cover the entire area. Is the ground where you intend to locate your pool rocky or marshy? These are factors which could have an impact on your choice, so be sure to dis- cuss these issues thor- oughly with your contrac- tor. Also consider the ele- ments of your existing landscape. If your plan will result in the removal of several large trees, you may want to rethink your plans. This can be costly, and have a major impact on our landscaping and your view. Conversely, it's also expensive to add a lot of new landscaping. Choosing an Installer If you're having an in- ground pool installed, make sure the contractor you use is experienced.

First quarter starts were at 153,000 units. Improvement in the sec- ond quarter was due to higher starts of single- detached dwellings which, although lower than the levels posted dur- ing the second half of 1991, climbed to 90,000 units from 77,000 units in the first quarter. Starts of multiple dwellings were at 75,000 units in the sec- ond quarter, inching down 1,000 units from the pre- ceding quarter. "Second quarter activi- ty bounced back from the abnormally low level in the first quarter, mainly as a result of higher starts in Quebec and the Atlan- bors who have pools to see if they can recommend anyone. Ask prospective contractors for references to see if their customers are fully satisfied. Once your pool is in- stalled, remember that a good maintenance pro- gram is essential.

Ontario starts eased to 55,000 from 56,000 units SAAR during the second quarter. A gradu- ally improving trend in single-detached starts partially offset lower ac- tivity in the multiples market. Housing starts in Que- bec bounced back to 45,000 units from 33,000 units SAAR as most mar- kets experienced rising activity during the second quarter. The recovery was greatest in the single- detached market. First quarter levels had subsid- ed following the end of a provincial construction support program. In British Columbia, starts fell to 35,000 units SAAR in the second quar- ter, down from 40,000 units in the first quarter. Turnto Page 5 Mark Smith, Manager of W.
