re: Pool people - Is it worth it to install one??

This thread comes up several times a year. You'll get every answer from "can't live without one" to "you're a fool to get one". What I've seen as a pattern though is most of the people giving an opinion don't have one. They "know somebody".

Well, I've had two houses with pools in each and I can't see myself ever living in a house without one. For the people talking about the upkeep, I don't know what to tell you. They are not hard at all unless you're a dumbass and have a tree that drops leaves all of the time right next to the pool.

Do your homework and put in the amenities you want and be careful about landscaping around the pool as well.

Our family practically lives in our backyard once it starts warming up. Biggest thing you have to worry about is your house becomes "the place to be" during the summer. But we love having people over all of the time so it doesn't bother us.
