Am I alone on this one too?
No, you're not. My story on using the pools is almost identical to yours, except my one grandchild hasn't been to visit yet. My wife and I rarely go to the pool anymore. We would go to relax and get some sun, but the "regulars" talk incessantly in such a loud volume that it gets a bit annoying after a time.

My wife longs for her own pool where she can be relaxing in it, in peace, anytime her heart desires. In NJ her brother who lived 10 minutes away has a pool and we were there often and she would be in that pool all day. Here there would be no "pool closing" as in NJ, so even better for her.

I have an estimate of around $40,000 from T&D for a 16X24 foot pool with a large birdcage area and solar heating. When I ready I'm going to get estimates from Advanced Construction and All Seasons also.
