On Saturday Taunton pools came over to open our pool and man these things require a lot of maintenance!  They suspect there may be a leak somewhere in the liner as water levels dropped a lot over the winter but I need to get it up and running before they can send a diver to take a look so I’ll worry about that later.  In the mean time I’ll just pay attention to the water level and increase it as necessary.  Since the water levels dropped though, the cover went into the pool and left a small spot open to the elements which meant a ton of leaves, needles and some small sticks found its way into the water and to the bottom of the pool…

Took me about 1 1/2 days to clean it all up, unfortunately I didn’t take a before photo but I did take an after and it looks pretty darn good.

Haha it’s just absolutely freezing right now, I haven’t turned on the heater yet as we’re still in maintenance mode, tomorrow I’ll get the water tested and ready to swim in, having family over next weekend so I’m hoping it’ll be ready for that.  In the second photo I laid out the pool cover, as I mentioned earlier the guys from the pool place came over on Saturday and it was raining really hard so I aired out the cover yesterday and man is it large!  I think when we close the pool this year, I’ll take care of putting the cover on as I didn’t like the way it was done last year.

I’ll talk about the weekend tomorrow, had a surprise (not great) at the cottage but I’m feeling lazy and don’t want to blog about it now.
