I enjoyed the account of your progress. So glad you and kids can enjoy the water- makes it all the better after hard work and overcoming problems! A good temporary fix until you decide on back-fill might be pine straw... however, I have a feeling you already have a plan :)

You've done a good job! fun to see the progress of the final results and best kids having a good time .... curious about your next project maybe your revised plumbing with your recycle?

Oh my, your comment brought back memories from when I had IG, 20,000 gal vinyl pool with steps in back yard. Never recalled frog issues but in skimmer occasionally had voles, chipmunks, snakes, the very worst was huge gopher rat- I had to call on friend to remove because it was too gross for me...

This thread is very informational and entertaining!!!! .... however I don't have frog problem. I like the rodeo relocation suggestion best and I'm hoping, at least, you have zero mosquito/gnat problems unless they are on frog vacation at your "resort" :)

I can't comment on the numbers but hope by now your water looks better especially with your upgraded pump and filter: a definate plus for frequent swimmers! I love seeing the kids help take ownership- very nice!!!!

You've done such a great job to recycle- that's a lot of work! Good Job!!!!

Thank you - appreciate link!

These are old pictures and ramp but it worked well for 2, 40lb Aussies- wood ramp covered with rubber matting on outside, old diving board in pool, used noodle foam at base to protect liner.

Hate to say but my "new" intex pump was dead after only 1 season- I''ve had them along the way since having AGP's last 10 years but they've usually lasted 5+years. When I took Intex Pump to have checked, all said was "it's junk" and it was the second one he'd seen that day. I did call Intex re...

Humm... how does the vertical frame legs look compared to the other 3 corners? And how level is pool?
