The True Costs of Owning a Pool

By Susan Johnston

As summer approaches, perhaps you’re daydreaming about putting in a swimming pool or buying a property with a backyard pool. That way you can take a dip and cool off in your own pool whenever the mood strikes, never mind piling the kids in the car on a hot summer day or jockeying for space at a community pool.

U.S News  By Lars Peterson

Owning a home sometimes feels like owning a never-ending to-do list: Fix this, replace that. When does it end? For responsible homeowners, it never does. But overlooking the small stuff can add up to big repair bills later.

With winter finally subsiding, spend some time and a little money giving your home a checkup. It could save you from spending much more down the road.
