In some places like California there are very stringent code
requirements for filling in pools. It's a *very* expensive
proposition.


Yeah, we looked at filling in the pool in the house we bought, and would
have cost about $12,000. We opted to keep it, and resurface it, even
though that cost more, not to mention the electricity for the pump.
