There is no way I can express how grateful I am to this forum and its members. Because of you, I have turned my backyard disaster into the neighborhood paradise.
“You can keep the house” meant that I unexpectedly became the owner of a 6 year old 10,000 gallon in-ground fiberglass pool. My instructions consisted of a list of websites to order Polaris parts when it stopped working and the location of the pool store if I had any questions. Since then, I have experienced about every catastrophe possible – some of which I caused; some I didn’t, but thought I did. However, I have emerged as a darn good water chemist and equipment tech. My goal now is relaxing and enjoying what I have rather than obsessing and striving for the perfectly balanced water. All the credit goes to this community, though. Without you, I would still be scared and frustrated with my fiberglass pond.

Welcome 
) is one I took while I was working on my landscaping, so I apologize for all the limbs on the deck. When I get some better ones, I'll post them.
