The Pool Opening Begins |
The pool is open and, while not yet ready for swimming, it completely changes the entire look of the yard. For the better, I might add.
Every Job Needs Good Help Chris at the Pool |
As it turned out, the 90 percent chance of rain during the day turned into 0 percent rain and it was a beautiful, a bit cold, day to get the pool open and running.
Not the desired Color of the Water |
Pool opening day is a big event. It takes a lot of time to get everything done. I had already reconnected the motor and the filter which meant that we were ready to start up the entire system once the cover was off and the plugs were removed.
The water had not done well during the winter. It was pretty green! But odorless--which is a good sign. But the good news is that there are chemicals for that!
The Pool This Morning |
As the Sun is dawning on this Mother's Day, we have drawn one step closer to Summer and the season of outdoors living. Out outdoors living space is nearly ready. I am amazed at the amount of time it takes to get everything done in preparation for the too short summer season. I am convinced that living in the land of perpetual summer, where people wear winter clothes when the temperature falls into the 60's would be much better.
For now, there are a few more minor things to do around the pool, like putting up the rails and power washing the deck to get everything shipshape.
That is the easy stuff. The hard stuff is done.
Queue Sun and Summer! Let's Party!
