I would not have another one if someone gave it to me.One Woman's Journey - a journal being written from Woodhaven - her cottage in the woods.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12548226150115102345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30065078.post-46546194392424303842009-05-31T20:50:01.986-05:002009-05-31T20:50:01.986-05:00We have an in-ground pool and 3 kids, 9, 13, and 1...We have an in-ground pool and 3 kids, 9, 13, and 16. Last year the liner(its vinyl) had to be replaced along with the wooden side walls. To the tune of $4800. Ouch. It took from April 1st til July 12th before it was done and filled. Then we had Gustav and Ike hit us and we only ended up swimming about 4 times maybe. <br /><br />This year we didn't cover it and came to regret that move. Our oak tree hangs over the deep end and dropped a ton of leaves in. Oh it was gross. And, because of the weird cool spring, we didn't open it in April like we usually do. It will be June 1st tomorrow and we just now shocked it yesterday!! My daughters spent hours fishing pickerel frogs from it, hundreds of them. We took a 5-gallon bucket to a local creek and released at least 500.<br /><br />Anyway, I feel your pain. I'd rather fill the durn thing in pronto! But my kids would mutiny so we don't. Sigh.<br /><br />Molly<br /><br />ps,<br />I haven't been to your blog in several months, it got lost in the shuffle of busy-ness and life.

One of the first things was the pool. I had the renovated, but first I asked the pool man if he thought I could just fill it with concrete. Like you, I cherish the sounds of days gone by, but it is very quiet these days. I do pay someone to keep mine up though. We don't cover ours in Florida, or at least where I am.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269872465115056916noreply@blogger.com
