And again...slowly, slowly, slowly, up, up, up, come on, stay up!

So this was on my doorknob today...Yeah. I am really concerned that it will cost more to fill than the pool itself cost. And I feel very badly about all of the water that was wasted when it dumped out last time. I am hoping that some of the wildlife downstream in the culvert enjoyed it at least.

Anyway, Jake's friend Travis was over today. And he's very helpful, so together, the three of us moved the pool carcass and then I spent the hot late afternoon making everything level again. Of course, I thought it was level last time. But I also discovered that I didn't put enough air in to the flotation ring that keeps the water in the pool. I was worried about over filling it and bursting it. But I looked closely at the last round of photos and saw that it was quite soft and wrinkled. So I filled it with more air. And I am optimistic that it will hold this time. I'll let you know.

But if it falls again, I'm done. I'll put in a little patio or something down there. And Jake and Travis had some fun in it, anyway. Those two could have fun in an empty room with a box of rocks.
Maybe if I fill the pool with Viagra?

I think the empty room with a box of rocks may have been cheaper, but may have led to some injuries and damage to the room.

I hope the flotation ring holds this time.

Hey Dexter...Maybe you could try helium to fill the ring?!?
