What a fabulous weekend! Great weather, great basketball and great company! My dad came in town for a visit with us/golf get-a-way for him. There was still snow on the ground in Michigan when he left and he really wanted to play some golf! We were glad to take him in. Lucky for him and us the first weekend of spring in LA (Lower Alabama) was absolutely beautiful. It was so nice on Sunday we decided we would open up the pool!
This is a "just uncovered" shot:
It has since been filled but will take a couple of days to clean up and get the chemicals balance. When we moved in to the house last year we changed the chlorine filter to a saltwater filter. This turned out to be one of the best things we did. The pool required very little maintenance and aside from a few bags of salt and some algaecide, we did not have to buy any chemicals all summer. I really liked it because you don't have that chlorine layer on your skin when you get out of the pool. There is so little salt in it that you barely tell it is in the pool. It will probably be another month before anyone over the age of 18 or with any sense will want to swim. The water stays in the 60's until it starts staying warm at night. But I am ready for it!
Side note: we had the boys outside all afternoon with us and they came up with some interesting ways to keep cool. At one point we found Peanut hiding between the AC unit and the house. We weren't sure if he was burying the bone or digging a hole to sit in, but I guess it was cool because he stayed there for a while.
