âI am a woman who came from the cotton fields of the South. From there I was promoted to the washtub. From there I was promoted to the cook kitchen. And from there I promoted myself into the business of manufacturing hair goods and preparationsâ¦.I have built my own factory on my own ground.â. Madam Walker.
The average in-ground swimming pool costs $21,919, according to home improvement site Fixr. And thatâs for a pretty basic 32â by 16â model. But thatâs just to build the thing. Then you have to take care of it.
Obviously, the fancier the pool, the more expensive it will be. On average, an in-ground pool can cost anything from $12,000 to $50,000. An above-ground pool may be a bit cheaper.
