Default Re: swimming pools

Swimming pools do have a way of being costly to maintain. We have a 16x32 inground pool here at our North Carolina home that we have owned for the past 28 years. During that period we have replaced the vinyl liner 3 times at ~$2000 a pop and new sand filter system once along with the normal yearly supply of chemicals. Also as someone stated earlier it didn't help selling the house. But after 3.5 months we got our first offer which we accepted and should have the closing in early November. But as far as owning another home with a pool, the answer is no. Was nice for the first 15 or so years but after that became a pain.
