    The horse had been drinking when it went in the pool? Or, the neighbors were drinking and lured it into the pool? Or both?

    This is shaping up to be the sequel to Tiger King...

    We definitely weren't looking for a pool but the house we ended up liking had one.
    Here we are more generally in the 75k to 150k range with 100k being the median. Ths is based on a couple dozen observations. We are sitting on limestone with a few inches of dirt covering it. A lot of money gets tied up in just digging the thng.

    A friend was putting a pool in and discovered his backyard was nothing but granite under 8" of clay (masquerading as topsoil). I suggested he carve a pool out of the granite and use a clear sealant. It would have been beautiful!

    Alas, he didn't take me up on it. He got a boring, but still expensive, pool.

    Guess that makes sense but it’s steep. With housing costs low in Texas a pool could cost 50% of the house.

    anything is possible with those guys, you should see them in action. The horse area has a gate. The pool area has a gate. Evidently neither gate was closed when the horse went rogue (rouge)...

    Mother-of-weezie used to comment that there are a lot more horses patoots in the world than there are horses.

    Not a pun, I know.
    Nothing incites bodily violence quicker than a Duke fan turning in your direction and saying 'scoreboard.'
