    If your after a free pool - just keep looking. There will be a few around ready for the taking.

    Just drive around a while looking for an AG that still has the winter cover on it. The just go knock on the door, and ask if they want to get rid of it.

    I had a friend here in town that did just that, found a pool and a willing homeowner in about 2 hours. He had a totally free 24' round AG with pump, filter and pool that was only a few years old. His only cost of course was time, his labor, and a new liner for like $200.

    That is an excellent idea, I am going to have to tell him to do just that, he could find one that was not buried to the gills in the ground with a newer looking filter and stuff. Thanks alot.

    Just another tip - a good target is often homes that are for sale. Many times owners trying to sell would rather get rid of the pool to help keep from turning off some buyers.
