The luxury of swimming in your own backyard.

The time, money and discipline it takes to make that dream a reality... crushed when you realize you've hooked up with a devil of a pool contractor.

The Anderson county Sheriff's Office says one homeowner lost $70,000. Hill would draw up contracts for pool construction, take a majority of the money up front, begin the project then never return.

According to the Better Business Bureau website, Crystal Blue Pools is based out of Mauldin and has not obtained proper licensing from the Labor Licensing and Regulation - Residential Builders Commission.
