Swimming Pool from Hell

I thought it would be a fantastic idea to buy one of those big above ground pools for our family for the summer.  It's a Intex Easy Set Pool.  In my mind I thought we would have it all set up the weekend I bought it.  Like I said, that was in my whacked out mind.  My poor husband got a huge job thrown at him and he has worked day and night for a month trying to level the back yard just to put the pool down.  First he had to kill off all of the grass where the pool is going to go.  We've heard too many people say that they had grass grow up through the bottom of the pool.  So, he killed the grass, dug up the yard which is a 18 X 18 section, leveled it with dirt and sand and after all of the hard work in 100 temperatures, the leveling was finished last night.  I'd also like to give a BIG shout out to our great friend Steve for helping Chuck with this massive project.   Tonight the plan is to lay the tarps and assemble the pool.  Next Mission...SWIM.

More Pics to Come. :))

  2. The Pool is complete as of last Saturday, praise the lord. The kids absolutely love it and we are really enjoying it to. My favorite part so far is jumping in after I mowed the yard. Can you say refreshing?? It's awesome!!
