Anyone have any experience with putting these in? I found this site: [www.poolkits.com](http://www.poolkits.com) where it says you can save about $10K by doing some of the install yourself. From the looks of it, it’s wouldn’t be too bad to do yourself. :dunno:

If you even mention this to my wife I’m taking you down! j/k She’s been looking into this stuff the past week or so. I’m sure she has some more websites you can check out, I’ll ask her.
I think I killed the idea though. Just too much $. The pool (~$23K), concrete work, have to build a wall cause the yard slopes, replant the yard from trucks, a fence, chemical cost, homeowner’s, reassessment, etc. But in my ambition to kill this, I agreed to build a walk-in closet that goes into the attic. Doh!

my family had attempted to do an in-ground pool a few years back and westmoreland pool quoted us “around $25k.”

40k for a pool is just crazy.
There isn’t much to a pool at all. They only take a few hours of excavation. Excavators usually charge around 60/hr. Then the walls are just bolt together metal pieces. The liners aren’t that much. The floor under the liner is just a concrete of some type. There is some pvc pipe and a filter.
My parents had a 36x18 pool put in in the late 80s and it was only like 8-9k. I didn’t know the price of pools had gone up that high.

taco - sounds like you’re talkin about an above ground pool… probably a good bit less than an in-ground.

I can believe 40K by the time you do everything. A heater is around $2500, and covers are expensive too.

[www.waterworldpools.com](http://www.waterworldpools.com) (fiberglass pools)
Got a quote from Next Generation Pools (Uniontown) for 23K + concrete + water. Similar pool (14’ x 30’) online 9.5K + 500 for install + shipping (will UPS ship a pool??) in your excavated hole. Then you still have to get someone to do the concrete. Heaters are about 2.5K and a cover is about 2K. Cost + Increased assessment + home owners increase = JEFF says NO!!! :crying: :crying: :crying:
