Yeah, the water is really murky, but the PB said it would be for a few days while we are "brushing and flushing".

You'll work up a sweat brushing!!

I can't wait to get home and skim the pool! (I'll probably never say that again...)

I was going to say - how long will it be before you regret saying that? As I watch the leaves fall from my maple, elm and mystery trees!

Ahhh...maybe for another week or two, then the love affair will be over. :lol:

I'm going to have "shoulders of steel" after all of this brushing! Sheesh, what a workout.

I guess the hauling the hose around to water mine twice a day, is just a warm up for the brushing, huh?

Re: New pool in DFW. Pics updated 11-19-13

Lol...yeah, I guess. This is a little harder as I was sweating in 48 degree weather this morning at 6....

Well the added challenge of all the rock, roots, pipes and debris makes watering a bit more of an obstacle course, I almost face planted into the deep end the other day when I got tangled up in all the stuff!

lol..I hear ya! I had to remove my jacket when brushing. It's a great workout!

Looks great!!

Yeah, the brushing was a little bit of a shock to me too. I hadn't considered how long it would take and the rock makes it difficult to brush easily... It's only a couple of weeks though of brushing every day and then it becomes a lot easier to manage!

Congrats!

The pool is open and running and we are all sore from the non-stop brushing! =)

Re: New pool in DFW. Pics updated 11-19-13

Looks great - there's a great idea - have the kids do the brushing, one hour of brushing for one hour of swim time! Lol
