When my wife and I were searching for a house, we looked at a lot of different places.
Real estate prices were lower than ever.
There were tons of houses in the area that met all of our requirements. It was a difficult decision to select one place when they all seemed like a good fit for our family. One thing that helped us change our mind and make a decision was a house with a heated in-ground pool. The idea of swimming throughout the entire year was very appealing to my wife and my daughter. They were both excited about the idea of swimming during the winter months. Unfortunately, after we bought the house, we found out that the pool heater was not working properly. I contacted a contractor that handles pools and pool accessories. The guy came to the house to perform a full system backup on our pool. He determined that the pool heater was in fact inoperable and not repairable. The guy gave us a price on a brand new pool heater. The new pool heater can heat 15000 gallons of water in less than 24 hours. The contractor gave us a discount on the heater and a discount on all of the installation fees. After the heater was set up, I found it difficult to keep my wife and the kids out of the pool. It doesn’t matter what time of day it is or the day of the week. The two of them are like fish in the water. They could literally spend all day in the pool.
