    Well, I've managed to mark off a couple items on the ever changing hunny-do list...lol

    My hunny, kids and grandkids mentioned they would like to go swimming this year. Haven't had it opened in 1 1/2 yrs. Spent all day Saturday getting air bags, cover, leaves, tadpoles out of the pool and replacing some bad boards on the deck. Wish I had taken before pics, it was a mess.

    Finally got it cleaned and water balanced today. Should be able to swing in a day or two. IMG_20190607_134544911.jpg

    The other thing I managed to get checked off was pressure washing the house and front deck. I worked on that in the afternoons when it was hot, helped cool me off.

    This is our 10x40 front deck

    Thunderstorm came up Wednesday afternoon so had to quit for the day. Probably finish up in the morning.

    Nice work on the pool! Being able to take a plunge really helps to keep you working in the summer. Yours must warm up pretty fast, mine only gets to 80° a couple of times a summer.

    It's always good to cross off some items on the honey do list! I have a lot to cross off on mine. Looks like you're working through yours better than mine. Nice job Jeff!

    Nice job. At least in your location you get some good use of the pool. Here.... not so much. I helped a neighbor get his ready 3 weeks ago and it's in the 50's still here.

    Had a couple setbacks, had to buy another electrode for the chlorine generator..$$$... then the temps dropped back cool at night, maybe by July 4th we can dip a toe....
