Pool Demo short. Edited with  

We are in the process of removing our pool. Because I get asked (a lot) why?
Here you go:
---haven't used it in at least 9 years
---the annual costs in chemicals alone is $3000+
---safety: the deck, due to subsidence, has become very uneven. I have almost fallen in several times and my wife, who has extreme osteoarthritis would not be able to get herself out if she fell in.
While sad in a way (so many great family memories) I'm looking forward to having a backyard once again.
