I agree

It never ceases to amaze me to watch a pool built from "scratch." We purchased our home with the pool already in, but have had it re-plastered 2x's now, but to watch the progress from day one fascinates me.....but then again, I'm easily entertained....

I'd love to post pics....but I'm a geek at that stuff. Been in this home nearly 40 years. Maintained the pool the first 27 yrs or so, and the lawn.....I guess I've gotten lazy, kinda nice having someone do it for me. I will ask this, how many of you just "drop" the testing fluids into the...
