Wendy, what about a pool side box just for your bleach? They have ones that can also be used as benches. Just a thought.

I have one that I keep behind the fence (nearer to the propane tank). The hubs thinks that is just the perfect spot for it. 
When I get more funds I might get something that is nice enough for the back yard - or even an outdoor shelf(locking kind) to put on the back porch wall . . . who knows!

Wendy, I got a pair of 7gal water containers with spigots on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009RFMB6?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00
I get them filled @ Napco on Spring Cyprus. $25 @ 11%
Go there once every 3 weeks. (You would be more like monthly).
Might be a chemical supplier up closer to you.
In the more distant future I am looking to a Stenner setup (already have the pump)
Need to upgrade my load center to support the extra circuit to make this a reality.

I also get chlorine at Napco Chemical. They sell 10% strength for $1.68/gallon. They ask that you bring your own container with an opening large enough to accommodate their nozzle. I also have two of the 7 gallon containers that ozdiver uses and that lasts me more than a month. Our 15K pool eats about 40oz chlorine per day (CYA at 40).

With the spigot can you pour it without lifting the entire thing up? (Like lean it over, if that makes sense?)
Yes..the spigot works until the container is empty. Opening the white cap at the top allows air to enter the container to keep the flow going.

I finally rearranged my office so my desk looks out over the pool however, I grossly underestimated my ability to focus
I am thinking I need to move the table and chairs it's totally obstructing my view.
Side note, my water is so clear, I can see the drains clear as day from inside my house - through the windows

That's so great! To be able to work from home (most of the time) and look out over the pool! Your water is awesome!!! The trees make a gorgeous backdrop!
Love the hummingbird feeders, too!

Ahh, thanks Suz! I actually don't even have a real office, other than at home. Years ago my boss decided he wanted me home to be able to take care of the hubbs whenever he needed me. Since then we haven't even had an office building. I have all of my staff work from their homes. We have offices all over the country where our counselors do intensives - but that is just the counseling aspect. It has been a blessing! (sometimes, but only sometimes, Eddie and I get where we want to kill each other it is a lot of together time!)
it is a lot of together time!)
What a neat boss!
I hear you on the almost too much together time!
WHAT an awesome view!

Firepit is done! They came by and built the inside up so I could put my fire glass in! I LOVE it! I can't wait for the first chilly evening!

That is truly awesome. I think that is the one thing my wife really wishes we had. She keeps looking at how much material we have left hoping that we could scrounge up a fire pit. We don't have gas to the back yard because the cost was too insane but we might do a wood burning fire pit at some point. Our neighbors have a sitting area in their back yard with a fire pit and it really is awesome when guests are over.

Thank you! We actually moved our entire equipment pad to this side of the yard because it was so much cheaper than running long gas lines. It was still crazy expensive for gas lines. We had to put in a propane tank - we don't have gas available out here in the stix
AND - originally we couldn't afford the fire-pit - but I talked my builder into putting in a much smaller pit with boulders - but when the mason got here and started - he had the original proposal with the fire-pit (that we couldn't afford) and that is what he started building! By the time the Builder got on site, he just shook his head and told me that he hoped I like it I was grinning from ear to ear! I had to save up a couple more months to get the fireglass!

your whole place looks awesome Wendy. Just fantastic!
I have a confession to make
I didn't think the firepit was going to turn out as well as you described. I was wrong. That thing rocks!
Enjoy

Everything turned out so pretty, and a free fire pit to boot. Break out the swimsuits, hotdogs, and marshmallows cause it don't get no better than that .

It wasn't quite "free" But I did get the original Fire pit that I WANTED for the price of the one I could afford! About 1/2 the price!

Thank you so much guys! I do love the way it looks! Hopefully the hubby will be feeling well enough tonight to come out and look at it! He has been under the weather for about a week, he hasn't even been out to look at it!
