The "other man" in my life

[alfreda89]

Does anyone else automatically put on their "pool clothes" when they get up every day?

Alas, I don't think re-finishing the inside of the pool will happen until winter at the earliest.

However, it looks great!

You misunderstand my post...

...I meant the crappy clothing for pool cleaning. I never get to enjoy the stupid thing!

And thank ghod for the Polaris (IE Kraken) doing a continuous auto-clean! My hands can't hang on to the sweeper device for long -- and hurt for hours.

An old pool was one of my reservations about buying this place. I would have passed it by because of it, but W loves to swim and wanted it. It's his house, so...he does the backwashing and stuff.

as an awful lot of work. Sorta like hot tubs.

I enjoy them, but (as shown from our previous house) don't usually have the commitment they need.

Yeah, a lot of work. I would not have chosen to have the pool. A hot tub, you say? Yes, I enjoy it, but it, too, demands work -- and ironically, it's so small (315 gallons) it's hard to keep the ph balanced!

Hot tubs, I will make the effort...
