Had there been much trouble/fighting about the pool area with builders 20+ years ago? I now remember vague only tennis court and garage as a part of the building, which was complained about, although there were many complaints.
Maybe, the pool area itself had to do with the crime scene? Not chosen for better cleaning or because out of sight, but for special sinister reasons perhaps? A clear symbol then on top of it: the position of the victims similar to the gift from an artist, which the children of the home didn't like and had found creepy all the time?
When I recently read, the victims' feet were nearly pulled against a/the wall, I wondered. From pics I didn't have the impression, there was a wall so very near to the place, where B+H were sitting. The position of the victims seems to have been really impractical for the killer/s to bring them there, put them down and attach the belts to the railing. Why so laborius?
The staging of the victims seems to be an indicator, that the killer/s had "all time in the world" for their work. But threwn out papers, gloves, a cellphone (all put on a counter later) suggests rather some hurry, which would be much more comprehensible of course.

Barry Sherman - Wikipedia
''In 1996, after the Shermans'
North York home was completed following five years of construction, the couple was dissatisfied with the work done on it.
In particular, they claimed that the garage, a structure with a tennis court on top and a basement lap pool and hot tub, was faulty; Sherman called it a "disaster". He and his wife filed twelve separate suits against all the contractors; ultimately they would recover almost the entire estimated $2.3 million cost of building the house through favourable judgements.

Barry and Honey Sherman sued builders of North York home | The Star
''When Barry and Honey Sherman bought their North York property in 1985, they planned to spend $2.3 million to build their dream home.
But they noticed problems with the home within months of moving in, in 1991, with Barry describing it as “a disaster.”
After litigation against the house’s designers and builders, they wound up recouping $2 million of the contracted amount to construct the home, according to a 2006 judgment.''
''They went on to sue at least five of the people and companies involved in the home’s design and construction, including Jack Winston Designs, Thomas Marzotto Architects and Ewing Construction.
All but two settled.
The remaining two defendants, 21 Degrees Heating and Air Conditioning and Walter Kenyon of Walter Kenyon Designs, had designed the home’s heating and air conditioning system.
The Shermans sued 21 Degrees and Kenyon for negligence related to the design of the HVAC system, and 21 Degrees for breach of contract.''
''Marco Drudi, of Drudi Alexiou Kuchar LLP, represented 21 Degrees in the civil suit.
“Barry and Honey Sherman sued my clients, as well as many, many others and from my recollection, they settled with many of the defendants,” Drudi told the Star on Monday.
In their statement of claim, the Shermans asked for $500,000 in undefined damages for breach of contract or negligence from 21 Degrees and Kenyon. By the end of the trial, they sought nearly $34,000 in special damages and general damages of an unspecified amount.''
''21 Degrees launched a cross-claim against Kenyon and Jack Winston Designs.
In 2006, the judge presiding over the case found that 21 Degrees breached their contract and that both 21 Degrees and Kenyon were negligent.
But because the Shermans failed to prove they suffered any damages, the judge awarded them no damages and dismissed the case.''
