What a difference a week makes!

We finally had a week without torrential rainfall. Rich got right to work on the patio and it was poured by last week Thursday.



He didn't stop there. He brought his tractor over and helped Bill tremendously by digging a trench (Bill would have been doing this by hand otherwise). In addition to that, he brought over his laser level and made sure the sand (which goes under the pool) was perfectly level. No tippy pools this year!!

By Saturday, Bill got the pool up. As I type, it is being filled by the garden hose. We tried to get a truck to deliver water, but the guy didn't call us back and TJ CAN'T STAND WAITING ANY MORE! Ha ha. So we decided to save money on the water and just run both the old pool's filter and the new filter in the pool to get the extra iron out. Hopefully, the water won't be yellow for long.

Here's Bill admiring the first inch of water in the pool:
