Later we put in a real pool (1978.) In later years we had to put in a new plastic liner. I think this is a photo of that new liner. We really enjoyed the pool until one year while we were using a new treatment, it turned green! What a mess that was. The more I realize now how dangerous it can be for little kids to succumb to "dry drowning," I am glad we didn't get this until our guys were in their late teens.
Many years later we thought about filling it in but discovered that would be more expensive that building it in the first place! When we sold the house we were told that having a pool would not be a good selling point. We were so lucky. The first person who viewed the place wanted it to give swimming lessons. He was a coach at the high school and he bought it for our asking price!
How lucky can you get?
Looks so pretty!
ReplyDeleteOur daughter and her husband have a pool. Kids like to come to their house in the summer. Laura has to supervise a lot though.
ReplyDeleteThe pool was a lot of fun. So were the motorcycles, boats, TVs with telephone connection....
