On the pool... I grew up with a pool and learned how to swim by age 4-5. Best safety net is all of the kids knowing how to swim and then a safety fence around the pool. We had a kid entrance to the pool where you could walk up a ramp out of the pool and it worked wonders for safety. Everyone knew how to swim and all they had to do was get towards the shallow end and then wade out of the pool.

We had a removable pool fence installed by: http://www.babyguardfence.com/
Works great and my son has been enjoying the pool since he was about 4 months old. The whole thing is easily removed for party's or when the kids get older. Congrats on the house! |

I also concur they work really well and are easily taken down/put up. Good option.

Nice casa Wayne. I'm sure you made the right move.
However, no one asked about your current or previous house, so I will in order to complete the overview. Did you sell your current house or keeping it for rental? Buying property is relatively unencumbered if there isn't a property to sell. That's the hard part in the real estate equation. It's currently a buyer's market, not so a couple of years ago. A house not an investment? Perhaps, but it shouldn't be an albatross either. People only say it's not an investment when they don't plan to sell. However, if the value tumbles and the mortgage stays the same, that's a little hard to swallow, especially when your neighbor is able to purchase a comparable home for much, much less. Let's hope the RE market stabilizes soon. Sherwood |

Good to see you are closing the pool. That's a real hazard with small kids. Drowning is the #1 cause of accidental death on kids 1-4 in CA.
