Cost, time and pitfalls of having a built in pool?
I am thinking of having small-medium built in pool installed in my backyard. I was wondering how much it costs to have one installed, what are expected annual running costs and are there any pitfalls from having a pool. I planned to have it enclosed by fence for safety so I don’t think there should be a safety issue and my youngest is 8 so there are no toddlers.
Also of interest, does it indeed increase the value of the home as I have heard.

the biggest problem of having a backyard pool is the liability of someone unauthorized getting hurt or dead in your pool. in most states, YOU are responsible and could get the crap sued out of you even if you lock it up with a pool cover. check your local laws
