    infants and children swim lessons

    Has anyone ever had any experience with this? Infant Swimming Resources (I hope it's okay I put this link in here....) I have two young children (older than a year, but still young enough to learn, I think) and was thinking about putting them through this course. Watch the video...it's really...

    Ktdave's finally showing off the petite oasis.

    Looks great! Those easements can be a pain...my in-laws just had to cut down about 100 cedar trees they had planted because they were within 15' of a 1" water line. What a crock! Hopefully your easement is for something a little more bearable...

    Need a new pool - what brand to look at???

    My husband and I, too, have been looking at above ground pools. We have found the sharkline are a little better quality than the others you mentioned, but it really depends on what you want (steel, aluminum, resin, etc...) We have found that we like the Artesian, Jerry Weismuller, and Vogue...

    More rain! Is this possible?

    Blow some this way! We are about 6" low for the month and are going through a major drought. My father-in-law has a Christmas tree farm and is losing most of his trees and paying crazy prices to water them. Farmers are losing crops and some counties are even shutting people's water off if they...

    Adsense - ads by Google

    I, too, was attracted to this site because it was free (and let me register to ask annoying questions). I can deal with the ads if they keep more people coming. I like the idea of putting up ads from reputable companies and not just Google search ads (it seems). I think we will get more good...

    Which "chlorine system" do you use?

    I do realize the BBB method is still used in other sources, but am just curious as to the "main" source. Does that make sense? Sorry if I seem ignorant, I am. I am trying to learn still and am curious about what others are doing for the main source of chlorine.

    Which "chlorine system" do you use?

    I, like others I'm sure, am curious as to which "system" of chlorine you all use. (Sorry if this is not the proper way to state it!)

    how to choose AGP?? (split from 'Hello in TN')

    Hey Scott, thanks for your input! We, too, have a septic field issue, so that's why we are getting such a large deck. We would like to connect the deck to the house, and we are on a slight slope, so where we have to put the pool (b/c of the septic), we are far away from the back door. I think an...
