I’m with you on not wanting to dump 100k , I wouldn’t do it again , if you have a deck look at partially submerged in-ground/on-ground . Not sure how much those will set you back . Can honestly say I’ve only been in it 2X this summer , my wife on the other hand thinks she’s a mermaid , lives in her suite & water which is ok lol . My suggestion don’t blow yourself out , try & do something under 20k complete & kids will have a blast .
