Swimming Pool
Dear Friends,

I am planning to construct my farm house with a swimming pool for my kids on a 16 Kanal plot.

I am thinking about constructing a small swimming pool (SIZE 55x35) for my kids in the farm house.

Has anyone on this web site got a first hand experience of constructing a swimming pool? Please share the ideas,

Sajid Sb,
I am really sorry but please find some other elite web site for such questions.
Hum Hehar/chappar main Nahane Waley Loog Apney Swimming Pool Ka sooch bhi nahin sakte. Please do not mind. God bless you.

well both extremes,

JIJ, having money doesnt mean a bad impact as having no money doesnt mean you are a sufi.........(it can be vice versa)

Mr. Sajid

your question can be published without mentioning "i need it for kids" as it shows as someone is asking for a bicycle for his kids........:-)

stay safe......

Dear JIJ
Yours are uncalled for sarcastic remarks.
If you look closely, this website is a discusson board for sellers with plots/properties worth over 10 million on average and investors/potential buyers with likewise buyeing power.

Any person with the inclination/preference to own a farm house, and having a capital of 5~10 million can get one for himself/his kids. Which is to say about more than half of the people on this discussion board :) This makes a farm house not exactly an elite symbol but a personal preference. Unless of course, we deem the whole website and every person selling/buyeing here as "elite" :P

Oh...and by same principle, a swimming pool too is a personal preference and is pretty affordable for the same number of people discussed above. Its not hard to imagine a person holding 1-2 plots in any good society of Lahore being able to dish out around a million Rs for this venture, provided he has a swimming pool in his wish list.

As rightly pointed out by Abdulah above, a well off/rich person does not really mean a "bad" guy and a poor guy with no money doesnt quality him to be a sufi. A well off guy having a decent living (with or without a farm house/swimming pool) and giving away in charity discretely is a better guy than a middle class/poor guy who would cheat only for lust ("hirs").

My two cents!!

Dear Abdullah and Reincarnated:
Just to continue discussion, I belong to midddle class family who like to link themselves with 'Sufi's rather than the other rich kind.
Building a Swimming Pool alone is not the issue, it is it's maintenance, e.g, filteration plant, cholirnation, keeping it safe and hygenic for kids will cost exorbitant amount.
I personnlay beleive, having extra huge LCD TVs and personal swimming pools, where one swim may cost equivalent of thousands of rupees in financial terms, is a bit on the extravagent side, when there are other just causes to spend. But then again I have never been to a house that has a swimming pool or seen a swimming pool, except one in Model Town which i saw once from outside, so pardon me for ignorance.

My Brother JIJ

Our Islam is a very flexible, adoptable and practical religion having all "kinds" accommodated in it,there are and there were Rich Sufis too, it is the percentage which matters:

for example if you belong to middle class (dont be shy i also belongs to middle class or a bit higher middle class may be) you spend 2000 Rs charity per month and 20,000 Rs for luxury (TV, Gym, Excursion trips etc), your earning is 50,000 Rs, so in monetary terms you are spending 4% on charity and 40% on luxury.

What about a person having 10 million income per month and spending 5% (which is 5 lakh rupees per month) of his/ her wealth in the name of Allah and 10% (which is 10 lakh rupees per month) for his lavish life??

you tell me Sufi sab which is better??

so chill and enjoy what is given by Allah Subhan Tallah.
