    Nevermind. I thought you were asking if anyone played the game of pool. :D
    Beautiful pool! Cool idea about the salt water. Will the water shortages affect it?

    No, I don't have a pool. I had a small above ground pool once when my children were small. It appears, when looking at your place, my entire spread
    might could serve as a small servants quarters in one corning of your back yard.

    This is the front half of ours, it's equal size beyond the bridge, and then further to that there's a fountain...

    The pool in foreground is a baby pool although we have no babies or children on our gated community....the main pool is around 30 metres long...

    I used to like my little salt water pool until last year when hundreds of palm seeds fell into the water after a howling nite storm. Within days the water had turned a murky greeny/brown and there was a thick sludge on the bottom. Took me months to finally have my pool looking like a pool again..

    I like my brother's pool better. IMG_0336.JPG IMG_0335.JPG
    That's what I call a pool @Holly Saunders. Looks similar to my neibors..without the bridge, which gives it a Venitian toouch.

    When living in New Zealand for much of my retirement I used this pool.

    Probably the only thing I liked about renting in California was that pretty much every apartment building had at least one pool - the one I worked at had two - and rarely did anyone use them except on weekends. Since I usually worked nights, I had the pool to myself during the day, and with no maintenance on my part.

    Why the cranky face?
    I merged them. No point having two swimming pool threads. I will re post my pool. Can you see it now?
