finally filled in my in-ground pool last year, after sitting unused for a couple of years before that - way too much work and expense and maintenance for the little it actually got used now that the kids are mostly grown.
Don’t miss it one bit personally and given the chance would much rather swim in the ocean.
2 happiest days in a pool owners life - they day that have it installed, and the day it gets filled back in.
Ha!My kids are 7 and 9. Thinking of getting 15x40 fiberglass pool with salt water....low maint. Our biggest question is: “Are we going to stay in this house for 10-15 years?”
