My daughter went to a pool party in one of her friend's house recently, she had a wonderful experience. Later she was complaining about why we didn't have a pool. After all, we had a large backyard, we could easily construct a medium sized pool there. My son is also going to swimming lessons nearby. He could have them at home. We could also take an occasional dip in this scorching heat. So I guess it's better to have a swimming pool constructed. I was wondering if I should make it myself or give the contract to (link removed by mknauss - TFP mod). Also, I am worried about the maintenance charges. How much does it cost annually? Please do let me know in the comments. Thank you.
