Sweet, that's perfect for there! I'm still waiting for the weather to warm my pool up enough I can get her tile repaired and cleaned. You can just swap a liner!
PS mine is a 16x32 rectangle, perfect size

In ground are so high maintenance for this area with our temps unless it's indoors. I'm going to make my own heating system with some 1 1/2" black tubing and an extra pump to help move water. I'll have plenty of room to to lay the hose out in a field the pool will be next to.
Kind of hard to see the poles marking out the footprint for the pool but it's way bigger than I thought before ordering. Family and friends will love it.

When I was young my day did the homemade pool heater similar. He put a piece of glass over the tubing to trap the heat more. Also added a valve at the end to slow the flow so the water gets hotter. Worked awesome. Then he put a slide on the deck and had the hot water run down it.
Plus your water tables are a lot higher than ours and a 'cement pond' can heave herself right out of the ground there, with our water table always below 1000' and in some places 2500-3000' it's not our issue. I never close my pool because we don't freeze and lose underground pipes. I also have solar (black piping) on my roof to warm the pool passively and obstruct any FLIR roof signature from my grow plus 26k of potable water for the coming Zombie apocalypse.
I bet your liner replacement is cheaper than my acid washing and inevitable tile repair every 6-8 years. I grew up with a vinyl lined pool and it was great.
I think you made a perfect choice for your area. Especially now I'm paying for a tile repair.

Looks like your ground will be nice on your feet but if you wanted some xtra softness, theres a product called "fan fold" that works great. I buy it from the local lumber yard. Our pool base is fill (fine fill) so it's a little hard. The fan fold and a tarp over that really helps out. That's a beauty of a seasonal pool you bought. We have a 8000gal coleman that I couldn't imagine summer's without.

I would think an above ground pool is not taxable because it is "portable".

In ground is a home improvement and the tax assessor is involved in Los Angeles County. It also increases your home's resale value out here. Most folks are outside year round and the pools with special lighting and water features are enjoyed.

Worked on the fence. The weather has just been horrible here tons of rain. Got rained out and decided to play with some puppies. Now taking the wife to the smoke house. And smoking on the way there.

I think only if you have a deck built around it that's attached to the house then they add extra.
Very nice, knowing me, beer and fishing first thing I'd catch would be the boat. Pics with you out on it, please.

I never drank beer when out on the boat, someone had to back the trailer down the ramp and load it at the end of the day.
