Thanks for sharing your post about pools. You had a lot of good stuff in it AND it was interesting. I always thought half of the homes for sale in Las Vegas have a pool. I was wrong. It’s only about 1/3. I attached our post about pools https://HomesForSale.Vegas/homes-with-pool with additional information about safe pool designs. Again, thanks for sharing your knowledge and helping others.
