What I Buy Wednesday.

I don't really have time to post as we're getting ready to leave for England this afternoon. But, I just wanted to give you a quick update.

I didn't really buy anything this week, but we are having the new tile installed around the pool. Talk about money pits. I think we had about 3 good years when we first moved here in 1995. Since then, it's been one thing after another with the pool. Considering we completely re-did the pool about 15 year ago, you would think we wouldn't continue to have so many problems.

Wellll, we did not know that the entire pool would need to be drained to do the tilework. But okay, that will be another kazillion $$$$ worth of water. They completed the work and it looks pretty nice.
 Of course there is still clean up to be done. They started refilling the pool yesterday afternoon about 1 p.m. and it's been filling all night and today. It's now 4:30 and Butch went out to check the level. This is what he found:
Two hours ago the water was crystal clear. All of sudden, the water coming out of the hose is dirty. What the F***! You know what that means---another draining. OMGosh! What a hassle and ridiculous expense! 

Butch has had it with this pool---and I'm right there behind him! The rest of the water in our house is fine. We have no idea why, or how this could happen. No time to deal with it now! 

All I'm saying is if you plan to put a pool in, think twice---or twenty times before you do! You can take many nice vacations for what it costs!

  1. Oh no! What a lot of water to have to drain away - thank goodness though that he noticed it before it was full. We have water meters here so we pay for however much water we use, do you have the same there? If so, this must cost you a small fortune!

  2. Oh goodness, what a thing to happen after you'd gone to all the effort of re-tiling :(. Hoping it can be quickly fixed and that your trip across the sea goes well!
