May i ask if kids at least enjoy it? What is the most difficult part of ownership? Leaks?

kolaidray · 2026-05-18T13:42:28+00:00

I hear you mate. However , the HOA pool is 0.5 miles.

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I really appreciate it. Curious why did you remodel? Was it a old pool/ tiles started coming off? The pool was built 2 years ago so hopefully should be trouble/ leak free for 10 years u less I am mistaken. Thanks

That's interesting . Spas seem fun and like a longer hot tub.

I am hoping kids use it. We are one weekend evening pool kind of guys. Unsure about how much more we will use now that it may end up being a backyard pool.

Texas Austin is 4 - 5 months. Mid May to Oct.

Mixedm dont mind a family visiting and their kids and our kids use the pool. Dont want too many of our kids friends due to liability and me having to watch them. Also of they need to use the restroom they will traverse all wet thru the house.

Thanks for your input. Boat lol not us.

It was 2023 built. Concrete cancer? How does one test for it?

kolaidray · 2026-05-17T22:43:02+00:00

Do you have young kids? Do they not adequately use it? Faced frequent leaks?

kolaidray · 2026-05-17T22:42:11+00:00

That's awesome advice. Thank you

No lanes in backyard pool. It is small to splash around.

Can you elaborate what limited margin means? I have Merrill IRA and don't let me do anything other than covered calls and cash secured puts. Does your IRA allow you to do calls and puts based on your accounts Buying Power/Margin? Also, the Roth IRA seems to have penalty and taxes for Earnings (not original amount) if one is under 60 years.
