A POOL! I would do ANYTHING for a swimming pool!! Okay, so I'm even thinking budget wise I may have to go with above ground. I know, I know...I've always thought they were somewhat tacky too. I have heard they can be improved with careful planning and a nice surrounding deck though. What do you guys think? Anyone have any experience with this? Do this type of thing for a living? A girl needs to get wet during the summer!! Well...you know what I mean ( ; hehe. THX!

Frankly, I would start with a hot tub. Very relaxing, usable summer and winter. Same maintenance principles, only you use chemicals by the tablespoon rather than the bucket.

Thanks for the advice, but I already have one of those.I want to swim, lay out all day and tan!
