The Pool

The pool or more appropriately, the hot, sweaty pain in my fanny, is coming along. If you haven't checked out our website or other blogs-you may not know the story. Here goes.
We're converting an old concrete livestock tank into a swimming pool. Heck, everyone in this part of the world's swam/swum in one at some point in their lives. We're trying to fix ours so it's not green with cow slobber.
Seriously, the plan is: clean it, sanitize it, seal it, fill it, swim in it! Suffice it say, that's much easier said than done. We had a group of Lubbock coming down to put in a liner, yada, yada.. but they wanted a fortune. So know we're doing it. FYI, the Lubbock gang's looking pretty good about right now.
So far, we've ordered and installed a fancy filter system. Now, the one and only Tina and I are sealing all the interior cracks. It's funny how at first glance there aren't that many cracks. Then, when you have to work in 105 degree heat there are tons!! Anyway, we're gettin' it done. Soon, we'll paint the inside and being work on the big deck. I expect it'll be finished by 2007. No, I'm just kidding. I hope to have it completed w/ in a week to 10-days.
Suffice it say to say, I'll be some kinda mad if it doesn't hold water.
