Between Angie and I, we managed to get the entire lawn mowed and weed-trimmed on Saturday. Friday after I got home from work, we ate and then took the boys over to Sam's Club to pick up the new pool. This one is HUGE compared to our other one. It's 16 feet by 48 inches deep. According to the front of the box, it should have been "ready for water in 45 minutes!"...yeah, right! How about 2 hours or so! It's got metal poles that connect together to form the perimeter and legs that attach. After finally getting that all assembled, we had to put the ladder together so I could get in and flatten the bottom out. Finally got the water going at about 8. It took about 12 hours to fill the thing up (it holds about 5000 gallons of water). We've been running the filter non-stop to try to get the iron out of the water. After running the filter for two days and cleaning it out twice a day or so, you can still only see about 4 inches down into the water. (our water has a LOT of iron in it).
It is definitely going to be fun once the water gets cleaned up and warmed up. Then we'll just need some warmer weather.
