When you add a pool you also have to add the bird cage.
Added Expenses:
1) Monthly pool maintenance. Chemicles, cleaning, etc..
2) If you want it heated you need to purchase, maintain and run another heat pump system.
3) If you want a solar heater, you need to purchase, install and maintain that too.
4) When we have storms, your bird cage screens could get damaged and you need to replace them, big bucks if you have a lot of screens to be replaced.
5) Added homeowners and liability insurance. Anyone getting hurt using or from the pool area, major lawsuit.
6) The pool tile, liner, pump, filter, etc, won't last forever so at some point you will need to do maintenance on those items as well.
If you want your own private pool, great but don't say it's cheap to have, it's a luxury.
When I play golf I rarely see people in their private pools. Maybe I'm missing something.
