I hear ya!!! I grew up with a large rectangular plaster inground pool most my whole life until I was 18 or so. Moved out and haven't had a pool of my own until about 3 weeks ago. Only 18 years later I finally bought an 18'x4' Intex Ultra-Frame. I think with all the equipment rental for the ground work, the pool, the filter and so on, I've got about $1,000.00 into it and couldn't be happier!!!
My yard is small so I likely will not ave an IG pool in this house, but I certainly have a lot of good ideas after all these recent threads of new builds!!
THANKS A LOT TFP!!! LOL
