Thanks. I think we're going to bite the bullet. Just trying to figure out financing now, we're at about 78% LTV, so not sure if a home equity loan is possible. I'd like to just pay cash, but don't think I can be patient enough to wait for that :). We're in Houston, so I think we'll have plenty of swimming months each year. We're also getting the saltwater option, so we wont ever have to buy chlorine or shock, which will save $ in the long run as well. We'll get the hottub option as well, so we can have wetlook fun year round.

Thinking of building a pool

As WK indicated in an earlier posting, an in-ground pool does require some work, but not nearly the amount you might think. We had an inground pool installed when we lived in Western Maryland ($25,000) and except for cleaning it out ofter the winter, it was quite easy to maintain throughout the summer. I did a LOT of wetlook photography in that pool and seldom had any problems with fibers, lint, etc. in the filter. After an extended shooting session (e.g., three different changes of outfits) I simple 'shocked it' with chlorine that evening and it was perfectly clear and sparkling the next day.

We had above ground pool for several years prior to 'biting the bullet' and putting in a nice kidney-shaped inground pool. The above-ground ones required a LOT of care and the water was seldom as clear as in the inground pool. It was also more difficult to properly photography the girls getting into and out of the pool, not to mention being pretty much unable to do ANY underwater shots. The girls LOVED the inground one! The bottom line is that if you're going to do wetlook pix regularly, an inground pool is definitely the way to go.
