To Pool or Not to Pool

The house used to have a pool. When we did the intial walk through the house had a pool. A disgusting, dirty, smelly, weedy gross pool. But a pool nonetheless. We were told that it would be filled with dirt. That didn't bother us it wasn't for the pool that we were wanting the house.


Then when we sat down to sign the lease, we were told it would be cleaned and filled with water for our use. An extra bonus. Then the owner had a second opinion done on the pool. She was told that there was a crack in the lining and that it would cost more than filling it in with dirt. So bye-bye pool.

Then we hear that it is actually costing her more to fill it in with dirt than it would to repair it. Oh well. Some people decide some weird decisions. So they filled it in. With dirt. Now, instead of a disgusting muddy pool, we have a dust bowl-come-muddy quagmire (of course it's rained since they did it hasn't it!).
