In-ground Pool

26 August 2007

lakemurray.jpgSo we’ve been experiencing a lot of rain lately.  So much rain, in fact, that a whole month has passed and we have seen no measurable progress.  We continue to be the lot on the block with the largest lawn ornament (the digger) and the largest in-ground pool.  I’m sure the neighbors are not jealous.  Our “pool” is about 15 feet wide and 10 feet across, with a guesstimated depth of 2-3 feet (not that anyone wanted to go in and measure).

With the strong storms we’ve had lately, it appears as though the neighborhood might have been without power when we visited yesterday.  And it’s a good thing we had the tree in the backyard trimmed way back because I don’t think it would have weathered the storm as well in it’s previously overgrown-bush-like state.

Next week is supposed to have one day of potentially heavy rain and four days of clear, sunny skies.  Hopefully that is enough dry time to get the digger in the backyard, excavate the swimming pool, and pour the foundation for the new home.  Fingers crossed.
