Sir,, That's a whole other thread.. Dad, brother son... it don't matter. It's always on us.... Fix this, do that, carry this, go get that, hang this, screw that... What's a day off of rest? Only God knows...

We bought a house with a custom 30k gallon pool when our oldest kid was in 7th grade. Our kids and their friends used it a bunch and then (after 13 years) once the youngest was about to leave for college we moved from that house to a nicer house without a pool.

I was the pool boy and quickly got good at it.

No regrets but I don’t want another pool. I didn’t actually use it that much.

My pool area was heavily landscaped which required the yard man (again, me) to do extra work rather than it being instead a nondescript patch of lawn.

It was a very nice architectural feature of the house and it probably made the house sell more quickly (but who knows?).

tl/dr: Pools are good in the appropriate situation

I dreaded pool season until I bought a cordless robotic vac and skimmer. Now I just add chemicals and enjoy the pool.

It's been great, we don't have kids but all the family has come over during the summer with theirs so that's nice.

A couple more weeks of use in east texas then turn to the hot tub

Complete waste of money and space. Also kills resale ability.
