I don't swim much but have grown to enjoy lounging beside it. In the summer when its 100+ degrees Fahrenheit it is nice though. I would not have a house in Dallas without a pool we can use it about 6 months a year without using a heater. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what our realtor did when she hosted an open house. Baked the cookies to get the smell into the house, then put them out on a platter for the visiting guests. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo&fran Posted March 6, 2021 #10054 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) But I did work with a guy from NJ, who came to work one day and said his car was in the shop. I asked what the problem was. He said the horn was broken, and he cannot drive without it. True story. Edited March 6, 2021 by mo&fran 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our pool doesn't have a heater. We can use it now because we are used to the cooler weather at the moment. 72 seems genuinely hot to me.

I had no clue what I wanted, but it was time for a new vehicle. I asked if he had any preferences and he said he would like it to tow at least 6,000 pds. That helped eliminate a lot. He gave me a list and we went to look. It was a toss up between the Sequoia and the Denali. I went with the Denali since it is an American company. At least somewhat. I couldn’t decide so it was either that or flip a coin. 😁 Lenny, tell your doctors we are counting on them to figure it out. Hope it happens soon.

I did love how it seemingly curved down a few inches on top of the water. My parents lived in Manhattan so our bridge of choice was the Geo, Washington Bridge. Never had a problem selling 2 houses in NY, 1 in TX. We did the research and priced them realistically. Our listing realtor presented an offer on one of the NY houses. The offer was $5,000 less than our asking price. My realtor told us to hold out for a better offer. Buyers refused to negotiate higher. My DH and I were happy to accept the offer which was just about double what we paid for it 7 years previously. We bought our house in Brooklyn in 1982 for $70,000.It was a huge house. We sold it 20 years later for $285,000.Today it is on the market for $600,000. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love that , pool water gets a little too warm when it’s over 105 outside. Pool water temperature can get over 90 which is not refreshing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted March 6, 2021 #10067 Share Posted March 6, 2021 We had solar panels on our roof for our pool at our previous house. Made a huge difference. Except for the cost and maintenance of the panels...heating was free. 🙂 Extended our enjoyable pool time by months each year. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mo&fran Posted March 6, 2021 #10074 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Our last house here in Fl had a solar water heater. Ran the dishwasher at noon since the hot water was free. Often thought about getting one for the pool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
