Your pool looks nice! I live in Va and we have that nasty red clay here too. When I water my garden it sticks to my shoes really bad. I hate mud. haha Keep the pictures coming!

I think Sean would see a decrease in readership if that happened!! :mrgreen:

ha! It's not skinny dipping it's chunky dunking... :mrgreen:

FYI -- Those drops you buy at Walmart for swimmers ear is just plain old rubbing alcohol. Check the label and you could save about $3.00. :-)

I don't have anything to offer, but congrats on the new house! You will get lots of good info here. Definetly read the Pool School articles. They are extremely helpful. Good luck, and you will be swimming in no time. :-D

Welcome to the forum! I was sooo ripe for being pool stored until my daughter's friend's mom told me about the BBB method. I am so glad you discovered before you had spent TOOO much money. :-) See you around!

Adam -- Pushing off hard kinda makes me nervous. It SEEMS sturdy enough. After about a week the liner stretches out and gets real tight against the poles and supporting rope. We haven't had any problems yet. My kids can be kinda rough. The whole thing kinda rocks with the waves from their...

Just curious, did you get rid of all the grass under your pool, or did you have a flat enough area where you didn't have to? I've heard of this happening to others. We have that horrible crab grass that grows through anything around here and I'm paranoid it's going to go through our pool too...

It is nice to see other Intex users. I get so envious of all the nice inground pools on this site. :-D We got our 16' X 48" at Sam's for $285 which was a deal. Wally World had 15'X42" for $300. Anyway, it came with the skimmer which works fairly well. One thing I have discovered is I...

Ours bounces between 78 and 82, but yesterday evening it was 84 and PERFECT! Today it's back down to 80 which is a little cool when there is no sun or humidity. Our weather has been crazy here lately.

We have an Intex as well. I have done the BBB method since the beginning. Thankfully a friend turned me on to it. So far I have had no issues with my water. It is crystal clear and has been even with our yucky well water. I spend less than 5 minutes a day and about once a week I'll spend...

It's $2.28 here too. I have to go tomorrow. I think I'll stock up as well, even though I don't use nearly as much as some of you guys.

Your dogs are beautiful! And I love the fact that they are multi-functional! :goodjob: hehe German Shepherds are graceful animals.

Ha! he looks positively piratish in that last picture. It's amazing what a pirate hat can do for ya, huh? hehe Cute pictures, btw. I love the life jackets. Mine still wouldn't go near a pool, even with a life jacket. And he's a border collie/australian blue heeler. He's supposed to love...

I love this thread! Everyone's animals are beautiful. We have a 2 year old border collie X named Roscoe. He HATES water. It's no fun bathing him. So, no pool. That and it being vinyl we figured his nails would rip it. But he is my shadow and I couldn't imagine life without him. We also...
