I'm being transferred to another city and one of the houses on my short list for location just happens to have a little in-ground concrete pool in the back yard. Something like a Fastlane would have to be installed in it to make it a true swimming pool. This being the Great White North, it probably would be usable from late May to mid-September only, unless I put a building over it.
How much work and expense is involved in operating a backyard pool? Is it worth the trouble? I'm assuming it's usable as the MLS photos showed it full of water.
My neighbor's pool, one weekend the water is nice with several dead frogs floating around, the next weekend it's green with live frogs, then the weekend, before it's nice again, is spent doing maintenance.
I would find a house five minutes from a nice pool, preferably one that isn't run down or used by noodlers.
