Rain - be careful what you wish for....
I had a pool and it was a P A I N.
The chemicals were impossible to keep balanced, the dang thing needs sweeping more often than I eat, just one leaf would seem to throw the filter into a fit and the goddam sweeper would make figure 8's for no good reason. All so I could soak in it for a few hours a week.
I HATED that thing! It was my white whale. I sold that house and swore never again. Now my sister has a pool and it is perfect- because I never have to clean it. She lives nearby and I take the kids there for fun. If I ever get a pool again it will come with a weekly pool service.
I am about 48 hours away from taking delivery on a new hot tub. I pray it is not the monster it's big brother was. (my white porpoise?)
Now, you being a bachelor, it could be a good thing. I'd suggest a hot-tub first. Skinny dipping is much more fun in those! But keggers are more fun in pools. As far as I care the best pools are other peoples. You decide for yourself, just don't say I didn't warn you!
