I am thinking of buying a 888 sq. ft one level house (this will be my house for retirement) - I am downsizing (have already sold previous home) and so will be paying for this for CASH (WooHOO!)
The house comes with an above ground pool - I live in New England and it's never been my dream to have a backyard pool. In fact, I rented all summer and never once went to the pool at my aprtment complex - even when it hit 95 degrees!
I just don't want the upkeep and liability and I envision so much more outdoor space in the fully fenced backyard if I have it removed.
So - I am not really too conflicted about this but am mainly curious to hear if others' here have removed an above ground pool? I also see that people advertise on craigslist for folks to take them away for free. I wonder if that is worth the trouble. I am pretty comfortable factoring in the cost of this as part of the purchase expense.
Thanks in advance!!
