While I wasn’t able to move heaven, I definitely moved a lot of earth to make the pool possible. The “easy set” pool has to be on level ground, and if you look at the picture, you can tell that it STILL isn’t on totally level ground:
However, it is REALLY close, so I am not going to worry about it anymore (next year, James and I agreed that someone else will be coming out to level the ground before we try to install the pool ourselves). I have a very sore back, and I just hope that this damn thing was worth all of the headache, blood, sweat, and tears that went into making it a reality. I am going to focus on enjoying it, and try not to dwell on the minor leaning thing.
I got in it yesterday after it filled, to put the salt in, and it was very cool and nice, even though I didn’t actually “go for a swim”. It is only about 3 and a 1/2 feet deep, so it isn’t really enough to “swim” in, but it is surely enough for me to float in and drink a well deserved Mai Tai (which I am still trying to find my favorite recipe) or seven. I just hope that I can enjoy the fruits of all my back-breaking labor, and hopefully have a few friends over to share in the fun. Who’s in?
You know I’ll be there. So glad it’s up! I just keep looking at the picture.
Hooray! You can have Speedo Saturday Nights!
You try so hard don’t you? It looks Wonderfully Cool! Watch out for your back Dude. God knows you’ve had enough Back Pain for one lifetime! ::hands you some Excedrin Extra Strength:: So when we gonna see Wicked? I went to a Wedding last weekend in New York and ended up hitting the City and got to see Avenue Q cause Wicked was sold out and I didn’t plan my visit very well. “It Sucks to be me!” Lol, I LOVED IT though! Wicked is coming next year to Durham at the DPAC around my Birthday but I still wanna see it in New York with ya. I love that place. It feels like home to me. It really does… And I’m planning a visit to GA in the fall, gonna drop my Mom off at my Aunts and would love to see you and James if we could. Movie, Dinner or whatever you guys do in Hotlanta. I’m just tired of working all the damn time so I’m gonna Live a little before I die I hope. Also I hope to hit Vegas and see as many Cirque Du Soleil shows as I can… Alright I feel like I’ve talked too much so I’ll end with I hope you have a blast in your pool, Buddy.
