To pool or not too pool

[Steamy Tom]

Does nobody else find cleaning a pool manually a great way to relieve stress?

drinking is far easier

I actually enjoy it. The wife will take the net and I will take the broom and sweep the walls and steps, 10 minutes, done.

hours of pleasure on a weekend in a clean pool.

Well you've already lived without it for two years... Might as well get rid of it permanently.

Just back from an hour of badminton, jumped into my 21000 lt portypool and feel like a star.......
on work days, I come home hop into the porty, wash off the entire day and it feels great...
I have even braai'd whilst sitting in my pool.....

So Ja!

badminton - in SA? Absolutely no one here I know of ever played badminton. I used to love it in college days.

I was in the same position last year, but I decided to fix my pool. The enjoyment I get out of it far exceeds any running cost and maintenance.

Like the comments have mentioned if you don't have kids a splash pool is great way to go, small enough to get soaked, big enough to sit around with some drinks in summer, and not a headache to look after.

Always wanted to do something like this:

Thanks to everyone for their advice. Were making the call to fill in the pool now. If we really want one in the future we will definitely go smaller.

Ill be phoning for quotes on monday but just wanted to know if anyone had an idea of the cost of soil/sand per cube and best place to buy in Centurion/Pretoria area close to Irene Mall?

Maybe try and find someone that needs to get rid of building rubble?

Then just do the top meter with proper soil...otherwise it may get pricey.

some advice, make sure the old shell is well broken through so you dont have a water drainage issue. And if you ever want to use the ground again to put in another pool or build etc it is best to get it filled in and compacted properly. Try avoid odd filling like rubble as it leaves pockets.

Thanks will definitely be doing that
