POOL Aug8

We had such a busy summer. Started off with camp, then Myrtle Beach, Asheville, Mission Trips, the kids going to their other parents house, etc...but when everything started to slow down...Greg and I realized that it is sooooo hot in Georgia...and we need a pool!!! So we called in the pool guys...weighed how much it would cost vs how much fun we would get out of it and decided to go for it.

Once we agreed on location and started getting permits, we realized our septic system took up most of the back yard...NOT GOOD...luckily...we can still get a pool..it just needs to be perpendicular to the house rather then parrallel...which when it is all said and done...looks just as nice.

So Thursday a guy comes and clears the land and puts up a temporary fence.
Friday he comes back and digs a hole and now we have 2 huge dirt piles in our back yard killing our grass. Monday they put up the walls. Tuesday the cement the bottom of the pool and set up the filter. Wednesday they put in the liner and we start filling it with water...that night Brandon is already swimming. We left the hose running for 2 days to fill the pool...wondering what our water is going to be next month :)

Jordan came home from her dads on Saturday...she was excited to see the pool. We all got in and swam and mimi and papa brought Jackson to swim also. That night 2 of the neighbor girls came over and they all went swimming. All and all I think the pool will be a great invesment!!
