I have never in my life been so excited for 100 degree weather. From this moment forward (okay from March forward) I will be tan, cool and relaxed...while my kids do cannon balls. We are really looking forward to summer.
How to Build a Swimming Pool
Step 1: Paint big blob on dead grass.
Step 2: Let it rain for three days straight - then let your kids play in this pool so they appreciate the real one.
Step 3: Bring in the heavy equipment and do some cool tricks like pop-a-wheelies and stuff. (Entertains small boys ages 2-4 for HOURS!)
Step 4: Oooh and Aaaah over big hole in your yard while trying to imagine less dustier days ahead.
Step 5: Plumbing and rebar and electrical work - which can't be easy. The rebar guy was really nice and listened to our kids scream for over an hour while we gave them haircuts on the back porch. Really nice, patient guy.
Step 6: Everything else...which will have to be posted later since this is as far as we've come.
Three weeks till completion...make your reservations now for Spring and Summer 2008!
