The Blue Oasis. The Foundation Chronicles, #6

With the main residence finally "dried in" and the scars of the Year 5 storm healing, the Sterlings pivot their attention to the Great Yard. In The Blue Oasis, Grant tackles the most ambitious exterior project yet: a massive in-ground pool and a filtration system designed to withstand the rugged conditions of Sterling Ridge. Rejecting an $80k contractor quote, Grant dives into the complex world of hydraulic engineering and pool chemistry, determined to prove that high-end luxury can be built with a "Sterling Standard" budget.
While Grant excavates, Sophie (7) begins to show her own flair for the ridge, assisting with the landscape layout and the "Great Yard" design for the family's two dogs.
