Cement pond
After almost 15 years of a love/hate relationship with our swimming pool, we finally filled it in
We moved into our old house 16 years ago this summer. It was built in 1924, so it has now been around for almost a century.
A neighbor told us: “You don’t live in an old house. You live with an old house.’’ Indeed, for every one thing that might go wrong, there will be nine things that absolutely charm you.
Our old house came with an gunite pool. It was old, too. By our estimates, it was built in the 1950s.
Old pools aren’t nearly as cool as old houses.
