If I could do it over I would have installed a really nice above-ground pool that would be easier to make go away.

I really, really tried to talk the wife out of a pool in our new house. There was a 0% chance I was going to put one in so letting someone else take the hit and buying a house with one already was a "compromise" I guess.
She has really good memories of having a pool when she was little...of course she doesn't remember the cleaning/maintenance/down sides since her parents dealt with that. I will say that in the past 4 years since we've been here, she and the boy do use it a lot and it made for a fun b-day party last year. Other than that, I never thought it would be worth it and I still don't.
