Pool's Open for the 4th!

I posted this on FB earlier in the week...also, emailing between my phone cam and AOL accounts are slow today so I won't be able to get the full before and after effect in this post.  But the Uncle D's team came out earlier this week for the second part of our pool opening, and the results - shown here - are totally inviting!

As I've posted already, our pool opening was delayed due to tree work we wanted to have done.  We finally got under way last week, when the guys took the cover off, reinstalled the pool ladder, did some testing and purging, and got the shock efforts taken care of.

There was algae, and there was a bit of winter detritus in the tool, which we worked to scoop and vaccuum out.  The earlier chores helped make sure this wasn't as bad as last year.

Then on Tuesday, the gang came out to wrap up the effort.  They vaccuumed and brushed, and so the pool is open and ready to go.

We are really looking forward to this!

Did you mean "pool"? You might want to edit that and delete this comment, too.

I'll edit the post. But you might want to get a doctor to look at a detritus problem like this.
