Jesse Langley :: Above-Ground Pools: Three Solutions for Sprucing Them Up

5
An above ground pool seemed like the best choice for my wallet, but then I began to think of the stigma/image/everything else that goes with one in your yard. All I can think about is the one my less than refined neighbors have that takes up their entire yard, the ones collecting rain water and leaves, and the ones that are empty with one side collapsed and lying on the ground.

    the curious case of the exploding toilet :: a True Story
