joewilly12 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 What do you do to keep cool. Wife,kids and neighbors want to kill me for taking down the pool 2 summers ago. Invest in an unground pool? Put up another above ground? Buy them all a pool membership? I just ordered one of these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallinPB Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I was just out west in Las Vegas last month also. It's hot no doubt about it but what I noticed is that there aren't as many flying bugs over there. No mosquitoes to worry about. I'll take 105 with no mosquitoes any day over the crap out here.

You are right, it is a lot of work maintaining it, especially the water quality. But it's worth it on days like these last few. Funny thing is that neither the wife nor I swim lol . We do it for the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly12 Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 Im actually considering a very small inground pool that has steps in and a seating area around the entire perimeter. I have calls into multiple pool companies in my area inquiring about this. I may actually take a ride later on to a pool place thats close to where I live and ask some questions. I don't need or want an olympic size pool as no one here swims laps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Division Marduk Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Summer has arrived, believe it or not. We've had two really good weeks. Hit the mid 80s last week here, still in the mid 70s, and now there's been a hosepipe ban brought in in Dublin. And swimming pools have been declared enemies of the state. The Green Party have gone ballistic at Lidl selling them, and Irish Water are calling on people to snitch on their neighbours if they see them using pools.
