IMHO, move in get settled, try the local pools, then and only then talk about your own pool. From what I have seen these pools do not get used very often. We did another option that works very well for us, we have our own hot tub/spa, $10k completely installed. I use it 3 to 4 times or more per week and it costs $75 month for all maintenance and chemicals. I do not have the electrical use.
A few questions since I want to do about the same thing - are you saying the $18000 INCLUDED electrical outlets or no outlets? Also, with the Spa, is it 220V? Did the $10,000 include the electrical? Can you drain the spa? Does the $75 a month include electricity? Also, is the birdcage covered at all or wide open? How do you like it?
Who put in your birdcage?
