The Minardi’s pool is shaped like a 1950s-era, Western-style Ruger Blackhawk, which is known for its long barrel.
This Florida swimming pool took a shot at standing out.
“Neighbors that have bought houses around here have all come by,” the 67-year-old Odessa resident — who aptly lives on Gunn Highway —The oddly shaped pool was built in the 1980s after Minardi wouldn’t let his kids swim in a nearby alligator- and snake-infested lake without wife Raye watching over them with a shotgun from the deck, according to the University of Florida’s student news service.
The plans that late friend and contractor Albert Jones III presented were of a 1950s-era, Western-style Ruger Blackhawk, which is known for its long barrel. Jones even detailed the tiles on the pool’s bottom to distinguish the firearm’s different components, including the trigger and ammunition chamber.
Louis Minardi and Raye Ellen Minardi sit by their gun-shaped pool at the home that’s aptly on Gunn Highway in Odessa, Florida.“You swim your lap down the barrel,” Minardi recalled Jones, who died in 2010, telling him. “It gets deeper on that end. You can flip over from it, and then you can swim back.
