I was talking to a guy that installs in ground pools in the Chicagoland area. Says he fills in as many pools as he puts in. Such a waste once the novelty wears off.


In Chicago, yeah ... I could see why.

In Louisiana, a different story. Also depends on how old your children are when you build a pool. Mine are young and we'll get many years of future enjoyment out of it.

My uncle put in a real nice pool when his oldest was 10 and youngest was 6 or 7. Great use out of it for 12 years or so. Not much use now.

We all blow money on some type of enjoyment. This is no different.

Very true. Do it right and make it look nice and you'll enjoy it even when not being used.

Makes a great pool. Some reveiws:

Great Summer Pool You think this is a stock tank? It is, and more. It is equiped with a threaded 1 1/2" NPT drain that allows to connect a swimming pool filter/pump. It makes a great above ground pool to keep cool in the summer.

Raised spa with a nice waterfall makes for a nice atmosphere even when no one is in the pool.

Get a waterfall. A nice one is only around $2K. Also, go ahead a get a heat pump for it. Only around $3K and I'll not only heat but also cool the water.
