I'd really like to just fill the pool with concrete and park a few cars on it but the wife insists it's worth it (for the 2 times a year she goes swimming with the kids). Oh well.

Our rental house (here in Phoenix) had a large, in-ground spa. Up keep was a pain as the previous owners neglected everything and we spent a fortune initially trying to fix all the deferred maintenance. Even then things kept breaking and the tenant's dogs kept jumping in the spa to cool off - throwing off the ph and clogging the filters (he kept saying they weren't).
Filled it in last year. Best move we ever made with our rental.
