Progress... Yeah... 1 step forward, 2 steps back...
Got home from work, put the hole in the wall for the skimmer, and put the liner in... Started the hose, ran to the store real quick... Figured there'd be less then an inch when I got back and I'd remove the wrinkles etc... You know the drill. 15 minutes... That's it! That's all I was gone. 15 MINUTES!!! ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME??? FIFTEEN MINUTES!!!
When I got back, my driveway looked like this:
My pool looked like this on the inside:
Since this is all brand new, I haven't had a chance to put any kind of drainage in, so the outside looked like this:
If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all!
I measured the water in the pool... 4 1/2 inches on one side, 4 1/2 inches on the other side! That's about the only good thing I have goin' today. Luckily the liner went in before the rain showed up, or the inside of the pool would look like the outside of the pool!!
So, we're pumping the moat out right now... Just a little tiny pump, as I wasn't expecting to do any massive pumping for at least a couple months.
Once the moat is dry, I'm going to pump the water out of the pool so we can adjust the liner again....
But I was the first one in the pool with water!!
4 1/2 inches of rain in 15 minutes... Whodah thunk? I knew there was rain on the way, that's why I was pushing to get the liner in.... But that much that fast??? Crazy....
