Wow, I didn't expect to get so many negative responses to the Pool idea. I had put in an above ground pool in my last home. I installed it myself. I used this pool every other day and thoroughly enjoyed the maintenence and upkeep. However, an inground pool adds another room to the house, only outdoors. I have 3 teens and they attract another 10 teens. My house is a party house as we always have dinner parties and barbecues. I've wanted an inground pool my whole life. I don't see the downside?
