Too much to do!

The chemicals are the easy part, if you have a good kit....

Thanks for the input. Now that we had to go with a smaller pool(18') my wife wants a hot tub and surrounding deck as well. This is costing me a mint!

It will be worth it. Once it is installed and you are floating in it relaxing ............ you'll see.

I feel the same. Waiting on the ground to dry around here before I can start. Wife also wanted a hot tub as well. Hopefully it won't all be as bad as we are thinking! Anyway I will you luck in your adventure as well.

Fortunately the pool company we hired took care of everything involved in the installation except for the fence. There was a bit of a learning curve to take care of it, but it would have been easier had I known about this site from day one.

Watermom is correct, when I'm floating around in the pool I forget about everything; totally worth it.

When someone asks me about getting a pool, I tell them it's like getting a pet; it will require regular care and attention, and may occasionly get sick which will require treatment. If you don't want that kind of responsibilty, either don't get a pool or hire someone, who knows what they are doing, to take care of it.

Well, I took a week off of work/ (vacation ) only to work harder than at work! Doesn't help its been about 100 degrees here every day. Got a bunch of teenagers together and moved my barn/ shed from one corner to the other corner. I just freed up a bunch of area to put a larger pool. Now it's basically how much we can afford.
