Don’t worry! With the power of my mighty elbow, I have disconnected the extension cord! Everything should be perfectly safe now. Go ahead, dive in. What? What are you worrying about? Go on, in… in…. don’t be afraid… just one little quick swim….

“I am shocked, shocked!” … yeah, but somebody had to say it …
So its a “fixer upper” that needs some “minor electrical repairs”.
I *totally* sure that when they put the outlet by the pool (or outside) that they used the appropriate GFI outlets so this is really **completely safe**.
I think I’d rather risk starting my day with an “electric shower head” …
Aren’t the US Virgin Islands in the Caribbean? Why on earth would you have an indoor pool in the Caribbean?
For people who don’t like salt water? Or for fat people who don’t want to be seen in a bathing suit but love to swim?
I was wondering the same thing. That’s a lot of money for nothing.
Maybe they are skinny-dipping enthusiasts, or swingers?
That’s the only thing I can think of to explain having an indoor pool in an area where outdoor living is part of the appeal.
Or maybe it was Greta Garbo’s modest, island-living retreat, because yeah, it’s either someone with a privacy obsession, or someone who is having naked theme parties.
Because its air-conditioned -duh.
Or maybe the home owners are redheads
There’s Chair, enjoying sitting out in the yard on his caribbean vacation!
Why is the toilet in the wardrobe?
No, no, I think it’s some kind of toilet isolation booth. I’m not sure what game show toilet is competing on, though.
Win Ben Stein’s Prostate Problem?
That IS the bathroom (see next picture). They installed glass instead of walls. Weird.
How did I miss that? I’ll toss it up tomorrow. Thanks.
That looks like it is for a submersible pump…there’s a hose out the window for it…but you still wouldn’t want to be in there with it plugged in.
Chair’s new friend Ball looks kinda shady.
I’m kinda thinking that the food in the refrigerator is evolving, the cord seems to come through the window, take a short dip in the pool and end next to the yellow cord next to the fridge.
They could keep fish in the pool, plug in the cable and BZZZAP! Instant fried fish. Handy for those late night munchies.
That’s for the three-bar fire, to warm the water up.
I’ve seen that toilet before, in my nightmares. Though mine rarely includes the curtains.
Can anyone ID the body part in the second picture? Elbow? Knee?
It looks like it could be in Minnesota or Texas. If I lived in the Caribbean I’d want big verandas all around and a palm-leaf roof with little lizards scampering around in it, also wicker furniture and mosquito nets. (Though I’d compromise with the present to the extent of having screens on the windows.)
What in the world? That walkway seems to be balanced over the top of the pool which just adds to the weird of it all. Maybe Tim the Enchanter hangs out by the vase, and jettisons you into the pool if you don’t know your favorite color.
The entire thing just gives a weird, “Have you seen the troll underneath my bridge? Mwhahaha.” vibe.
I guess it’s the only way to clean the windows. Talk of windows what are those metal bars that appear on the outside. Is the entire swimming pool house in a Faraday cage, or is there a verandah, but the mosquitoes so big it is the only way to keep them out?
I just
don’t
understand . . .
Garage/kitchen/bar/spa ? Guestroom?
And what is the row of red lights reflected in the bar?
It seems like, for whatever reason, this is someone’s very personal, rather wild, indulgence. It’s kind of a modest home, but for whatever reason the owner decided they wanted an indoor pool. It’s also done fairly modestly, or rather, for a luxury? It shows signs of trying to keep the cost in consideration.
If you click to enlarge on the pool pictures, that inches wide ledge underneath the windows above the pool is pretty grubby. The walls themselves have some mottling going on that could be indicative of some moisture issues, or just may mean that it isn’t exactly the cleanest place.
I don’t understand exactly what it is, but unless it is a short sale, and the owners just don’t particularly care any longer, they really could have done a better job of making it look appealing.
Not only is it evidence of someone just saying, “Screw it, this is what I want, and I’m doing it.” (which, that’s fine) they also seem to be saying, “Screw it!” when trying to feature it for sale. Pick up. Get the extension cords out of the water. Get the freaking can of what appears to be RAID off the bar.
Spruce it up a bit. Even the water isn’t as clear as it could be. It’s going to be a tough sell, you’ve got to find someone who just years for an indoor pool, in the Virgin Islands — talk about your niche buyer — and the overall impact isn’t “Wow, how luxurious!” but rather, “Uh…you couldn’t clean first?” which then makes me wonder how well they’ve been maintaining the thing, if it’s properly ventilated.
Long way of saying, “Good lord, CLEAN UP, and then take the pictures.” Shock the water, put some Clear Blue in it. Make it look appealing.
Contrast that pool with the one in the big church in the UK.
Heh, sorry. But leaving cords hanging in the water for a picture is stupid, leaving cords hanging in the water so that no one can miss the fact that the water is cloudy? Oh jeez.
you know of course, that the fuse can and will pop in a situation like that, at least when the electricity starts to “leak” into the water?
oh no wait, since your great inventors only came up with the inconvenient DC, i’n not so sure about you know that much of electricity anyways..
Fine, Thomas Merton. You dive in first.
The cords are for the lawnmowers used to maintain the “flat mowed lawn.”
Texchanchan: As a Claude Rains fan, I applaud you. Nicely done, and thank you.
