Sunday afternoon: "Hi honey, I just bought a pool."
They really are a pile of work. They're the perfect thing for a friendly next-door neighbor to have LOL
A lot of work, a lot of money and they kids aren't old enough to use it unsupervised.
When we had our last pool, the only time it was used was when I was cleaning it. My wife has stated that she'll help out more and that it'll be worth it this time, but that remains to be seen. Our weekends are busy enough that it's hard to find time to just relax let alone clean a pool.
It was a lot of fun when they were pre-teen and worth the work. My backyard was like a summer camp for several years.
Once my kids got to be teenagers, they used the pool very seldom. One year, they didn't use it at all. At the end of the season, I hired a demolition and rubbish removal company to get rid of the pool. No one missed it.
When we first moved in to a house with the pool, I told our pool maintenaince guy the wife seemed to like cleaning the pool and it looks like she is going to help out.
He laughed, and told me the guy takes care of the pool about 95 percent of the time. And that is what happened.
They aren't much work really.......... but I find our pool a constant worry......
they cost a bundle when they go wrong though...

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun
'Til we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine
one hour and 25 minutes to play 5 holes because one 4 some was so gd slow. I actually said something in a relatively nice way and was told that because they were better than I am or anyone I knew that it was ok. They did not like me much after this.
