what are we doing? Putting in a pool. What timing, eh? C'est la vie. The process started a couple of months ago, actually, when we decided to see if we could qualify for a loan/refinance/whatever and contacted the pool company to discuss the possibility. Well, it all went through and we now have a huge hole in our backyard! I can't believe it. When we bought this house, one of my main criteria was 'NO POOL!' b/c I was terrified of trying to keep my eyes on then-baby Zachary. But he's quite the fish now, and Owen's getting pretty adept at the whole water thing (he swims underwater and can make his way to the edges of the pool) so it seems like my fears aren't quite so founded anymore. And Kevin is most excited about the interest rate we managed to snag.
They say it will take about 8 weeks to finish. It's going to be a trashed yard for a long time. The tree is our sweet Magnolia, which had to be chopped down. Zachary cried over that. It's been his climbing tree. The swingset/playset also had to be torn down. The bucket of water is the continuous flow from a sump pump in the bottom of the hole, it's below the water line so they have to keep pumping until the pool is built and filled with water to counter the pressure.
