How do I convince my husband to put in a pool. Give me pros and

Do you have kids or grandkids ? Or dogs ? They make pools so much fun !
If you're going thru the hassle of getting a pool , absolutely get a hot tub!

RedSox1SheHer : we have a 16 yr old. My mom and sister amd friends would come and swim . Not sure the expense of a hot tub is worth it. Added$$$

TXhomegirl : Pools need a spa also.

mutton : but of its a 30k add on really?

TXhomegirl : Just know that a pool needs attention every day!

TXhomegirl : Yes, You have to have a hot tub! It is a must for those chili days when you have back pain and need a little relief. When you figure out how to get your hubby to let you have a pool please let me know how you did it. I have been trying to convince my hubby for years!

TXhomegirl : Do you have trees nearby? They create a cleaning nightmare. In computing the cost, be sure to include the ongoing expense of water, electricity, and daily/weekly/monthly maintenance. Whatever you decide, enjoy it!

TXhomegirl : A spa is not a 30k add on. Or are you talking a separate hot tub stand alone?

I might consider buying a house with a pool, but would never put one in.

Kittle : no trees out back. All of our neighbors have pools and they don't use them! Sort of strange...

mutton : I'm just taking out of my #$#. I just heard that if you don't add one it's cheaper. Idk

TXhomegirl : Could always get a heated pool vs a hotub.

TEXASGIRLMAMMA : Yes, one with strong water jets, and that gets hot. Not some wimpy, luke warm bubbler! Got to have that water massage. It works miracles on your back, etc!

TXhomegirl : It would be am sure but doubt it costs 30k.

TXhomegirl : You could always take him somewhere where there is a pool and make it a night he won't forget!
