morning guys
remember that little pool that got turned into an ant farm the other day?
i started working on replacing it
that one was an inflatable one, and i seem to remember paying around 20 bucks for it, new, a few years ago
looks like now they are up to the 70 dollar range
i thought that was too much for an inflatable one, so i did some digging around and found a metal frame one with the same footprint (this will go in a hole in the deck, so the size is important)
i figured a framed one should last me a few years longer
so after i ordered it i got online looking for some accesories and i came across a guy who had a 40x17 solar cover for a pool he was getting rid off
i picked that up and cut it down to size yesterday (since my little pool is only 10x6.5) and decided to put the rest under the pool to keep it nice and leven and keep stuff from poking through
then i talked to a friend of mine who just got rid of their pool a little while ago and she said i could swing by and grab her pump for mine
so so far, it looks like im gonna be about $150 into it and be all set
so thats exciting (for the kids of course)
the whole thing should get here on thursday, which give me time to put a new cord on the pump since that got run over with a lawnmower
