The last time I had box braids was around the summer of '97. I didn't hate them, but I didn't love them (granted, this might have been due to the very '90s bobbed length I was forced to get), but after seeing my cousin pull a braid straight out of her sister's head, I became scarred from ever getting them again.
Inground pools are priced from $5000 â $8000 for DIY vinyl pool kits, to a range of $30000 â $50000 for pools installed by a local pool builder. Like all pools, price depends on pool type and size, options and features, and to some degree the local market and economy.
The average inground pool costs about $22,000. That lovely patio and pool you see in this photo is my Fort Lauderdale backyard. As summer steams in, maybe youâre dreaming of a similar view. Before you call the contractor and start picking out float toys, letâs make sure you know what youâre getting into. 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. (Eleven years ago, we spent about $24,000 on our pool plus that pavered patio.) But thatâs just to build the thing. Then you have to take care of it.
