I'm a personal assistant ... aka personal bitch, I make 8p hr and I answer her phone, get her coffee, send out her e-mails. It's good hours -full time - and even though its not much an hour it is always more than enough to keep me going. I am a bit spoiled by my parents though. I really like the co I work for, and I hope in a few years I can work my way up which is why Im not going to college.
Although I really consider myself an artisit. I only sould one painting, it was to a local coffee shop that just opened for about 350$, but hey for an untrained artist thats pretty good. I am working on another peice I would love to sell in the future.

Dr. Hazzmatt Esq, about how much does it cost for someone to have a very nice backyard pool for a biggish house in Southern California? Not like a Bellaire mega-mansion with detailed mosaic patterns on the bottom and lavish statuary or anything. But a pool that works with a house in the size range of, say, 8,000 sq ft? I'm just curious.

Our next-door neighbors are spending what seems to be an obscene amount of money to put a pool behind their house here in Texas, and I just wondered how it would compare if they were doing that in California. Our house, fortunately, already had the swimmin' hole here when we got it. I've always read it's best never to put one in after the fact because you never get your money out of it.

After you tell me what that would cost out there, I'll tell you what our neighbors are chunking out here in Texas for their little "pond." All in the world that's going to happen is one of their fat little grandkids is going to get in there and drown. Well, maybe not. They're all very buoyant.

[Dr HaZzMatT Esq.]

pools and spas here in So Cal run 10~ 12% of the vaule of the home

so say the house is 750,000 they should not spend more then 75K
When you go in to estate value 1.6 and up there is no prop. to value ratio.
I had one job last month that was 175K for just a pool /spa and hardscape the house was worth est.950,000..they went over board .. I can't tell people how to spend their money (well I can and I do),,but they will never get that back when they sell that house
The typical family pool/spa runs 41K
you can expect to add about 12K to the homes vaule for the first 5 years
then after the 5th year the value of the home has (hopfully) gone up to out pace the monies spent
I see people all the time that have a lagre house payment (4~5K a month) 3 car payments, maybe some loans they are still paying on, maxed out credit cards and a second on the house
and they want me to help them get fini for a pool :wtf:

They're cheaper here in Texas, then. My neighbors are paying $65K for their pool, spa and landscaping (it's going to be one of those rocky, natural-looking pools, fairly big), and their house is worth a lot more than $650K.

Right now, the main hole in their yard is full of rainwater, mud and mosquito larvae. We're had so much rain this year that their construction is running behind. Why they didn't do this back last winter is beyond me. I think at least 15 of their mosquitoes have taken up residence in our house.

Thanks for the info!

You need to do somthing about that ..that can get the whole family sick
if they won't you can call code enforcement from the city you live in and they will do somthing!
