I'm a soon to be first time home owner with an in ground pool. I'm no slouch, I can soak up information and dedicate a good amount of time to this...if it's worth it. So is this something an average person can do? Or is this best left to a pro?

It can be an easy task. Find a pool supply store and take the measurements to them. They want your business and most are more than happy to give you all the info you need to successfully do your own maintenance. They will also test your water free and tell you what chemicals you need.

Yeah. Just takes some physical labor. Not rocket science, otherwise pool boys wouldn't be able to do the work.
I recommend for a home pool you use baquacel, instead of chlorine based pool chemicals. Works better and no chlorine smell--talk to the pool supply people, we had algae probs with chlorine products, and shocking all the time with high levels of chlorine was a pain-plus you could not swim. Once we switched to the baquacel, never had any algae, and the water was always crystal clear.

No, not at all... it's easily done. It's just boring.
