A weird thing happened to me. I posted an article online about concrete mix design, and then another about leaking swimming pools. Now, suddenly (8 years later) I have hundreds of articles published both online and in print, and the Swimming Pool Steve YouTube channel rolled over the 10,000,000 views benchmark last week. In total with almost 500 articles about swimming pools and spas I have written and published on this website alone, this amounts to somewhere in the 1,000,000 word count. Maybe 1.5 million because I tend towards being verbose. So to wrap a little context around that bad boy, War and Peace is 587,287 words, so I have a written portfolio of pool and spa articles somewhere between double to triple the length of War and Peace. Totally normal stuff, right? If you meet me in person I will literally talk you to death about pools.
In a more conventional comparison a full length novel is considered to be about 100,000 words. So accidentally I have amassed ten full length novels about swimming pool stuff but the problem is that this website was never intended to be viewed by so many people. I have no way to deliver the content in a meaningful and searchable way. I assumed that people just find my content through Google searches. However I feel compelled to present to you some of the best of the best content. Hopefully this page helps you to find more of my content. Each and every time you view a page this materially helps me. I appreciate you choosing to spend your time on my website, and I hope this index will be useful in delivering more of the extensive portfolio of content I have created to help people learn about swimming pools and spas.
