Inground swimming pools are a dagum CHORE! That concludes this public service announcement

Thats why i got an above ground and a tractor with a bucket.

Have had both. They all suck

When in school, I worked for a couple of uncles putting in pools in NW AL. One year, we put in 42 pools. When I went away to school 4 years later, 17 had already been filled in.

10 min every other day, but I don't have a pine forest in my yard either.

Yeah I have a sho nuff pine tree collection

I'll never have another

I have an above ground and it aint too much trouble. I would have thought in ground would be better. Why is it not?

They are all work. and the one i had was so much work taking care of by the time i finished i didnt feel like swimming.

I prefer the lake

Yep the wife wants one and I told her when I build my pond she will have one. A little sandy beach and a covered pavilion and there you go. She wouldn't like me putting fish in the pool.

Let that pool go and stock it with copper nose bluegill. Way more fun and productive.

If you maintain it year round it's not bad at all...if you let it sit up all winter like I do Its a lot of work to clean it and get it ready for summer, just getting the debris out and trying to get the water clean

I'm right there with u except mine had a leak too. So now it's empty except about 200 gal of green slime and leaves in the bottom.
It's a freaking chore is what it is.

I enjoyed my in ground pool... Never had any problems and cleaning it was a good excuse to be alone, haha

Just got a new liner in mine today and filling it up as we speak. I'm $960 broker than I was yesterday. Its always something.

Can't wait for that first $500 power bill.

They're cool till you own one...

That is what I keep trying to tell the wife......

The upkeep isn't a big problem if you keep chlorine tabs in it every 2-3 days. I went the entire summer last year without shocking mine. But, it would be easier if my neighbor had the pool and I could just use it when I wanted.
