However, every single one of them near me don’t have umbrellas or shade. Just a giant concrete roasting deck. It’s driving me crazy.Is because your house was built on a cemetery where they only moved the headstones and not the graves?

Huge supply issue for Chlorine this year, you really dodged a bullet not putting in a pool

Mrs. Hamburg noticed back in March/April prices for what she normally bought were going up. She found some random pool site that still had the bulk size boxes at normal price & just bought for the whole summer.

I know people who took their house boats out & just sold them because it was going to be years before Milford was going to be back to normal, but that was awhile ago.
UPTATE: We only put up a big oval above ground, saltwater pool. As soon as that bastard rusts out, I'm going to take an excavator and stuff it into a truck and take it to a landfill. After that, I will be installing a sweet hot tub in a gazebo with a bar and big flat screen. In-ground pools are stupid.THAT IS ALL!

Mrs. Gooch needs to make a new friend. She already has a hot tub! Plus the redneck pool is pretty great when the beers are cold and it's a billion degrees outside.

That being said, watching these Olympic swim trials and seeing the CHI Center in Omaha turned into two pools is amazing.https://www.google.com/amp/s/omaha.com/sports/swim-trials-ceo-says-pool-building-is-an-amazing-process-will-take-at-least-two/article_0f2cc294-0b71-536e-a456-7cde6f9f0857.amp.html

It seems like there are lots of pools already built.
Also my daughter's favorite sport is water polo and they had a varsity game in a pool that was four feet deep on one end. It was silly. Also water polo is a very cool and surprisingly violent sport. Looking forward to watching it in the Olympics now that I kind of understand the rules

It seems like there are lots of pools already built.None in 15,000 seat arenas though. The largest indoor natatorium in the country is in Indianapolis and holds less than 5000 fans.The trials are 8 nights long and in '16 they sold out every single night at $45 a ticket. That's $5 million in revenue from just ticket sales.

Having to tread water that long is one thing, doing it while being kicked, punched, and pulled on is a whole level of crazy, also that ball hurts.The saddest part of the nat at K-State closing is no more intertube water polo.
Aren't dunking and holding your opponent underwater briefly allowed in water polo? Pretty crazy. My favorite part about the olympics is watching some of the obscure sports I'm less familiar with. Field hockey and handball are both a delight.
I'm either putting in a pool or buying a house with a pool. I've tried to put one in but every pool contractor is booked out for like 24 months. need to, like, out bid some jerk who got in ahead of me or something.
