The pool from hell!!!

Well, we patched the pool, attempted to refill it & the side collapsed, emptying the pool & washing away part of the sand.....gathered friends & scattered the sand, repositioned the liner (not an easy job, and we all looked (& felt) like we had been working in a ditch all day) & began filling it again, whole side collapsed (the metal part too) due to a very large leak (that we have not found yet) washing away all the sand & letting the side fall in. Which is where we stand with it now...what does the future hold for the pool from hell?? Hhhhmmmmm...we are faced with the option of trying to find the huge hole that is unfindable, patching it, getting more sand & redoing the liner all over again, then hoping it will work...or....tearing down the pool & using the deck as a band stand & the sand area as a dance floor for the wedding, then making a zen garden from the sand area & using the deck as an add on to the back porch (this is my choice!!) Whichever we decide (or is decided for us by the pool from hell) it is going to equal one thing...more work!
Either way we go the pool wont be open for the wedding & there is gonna be some unhappy kiddies, but oh well. Hope Donna is ready for some kids that wanna swim this year!! LOL

Otherwise all seems to be well, Bruce & I are managing thru all the BS without getting on each others nerves too badly (so far) We are going to try to get the mulch on the flower beds today, but it is hotter than hell, so we will have to take our time & work slow...we shall see how that goes.

Thats about it for now, hope to have some better news next post! LMAO
