Oh The Joys Of Pool Ownership

Well we finally got the pool.  So excited to set it up.  So on Friday, I figured I would try to tackle it myself while Hubz was at work.

So I got it about half way done, and I just couldn't do anymore.  I am just not strong enough.  So when Hubz got home, he finished it.  It looks awesome, and LEVEL.

On Saturday, we decide to start to fill it up.  It starts filling, and we see that it isn't level.  We have a shallow end and a deep end.  I THOUGHT I turned off the hose, but no, apparently I turned it UP, and the hose was on all night.  So in the morning, the pool was full. 

I got a little worried that the pool may tip over.  The sides were buckling, and the poles were a smidge tilted.  Hubz said nah, it will be fine.  So we let the kids play in it yesterday.  By the end of the day, the poles were even MORE tilted.  We decided to flood the yard and our neighbor's yard, and empty it.  This morning it just has a little water on the bottom.

So now we have to till up that part of the yard to make things level.  When we did that with our old pool, I was a little upset, but not this time.  I want that pool to be even, fun, and most of all SAFE.  So the fun begins...tonight.  Depending on the weather.

Fun and more fun.

Our water bill should be quite a joy next month!
