Hi there,
help, please! I did my research and prep work for my pool. I dug up the sod, roots, etc., and leveled my ground myself, got my 6"x6"x2" patio stones, HD tarps to supplement the ground tarp included with the pool, and mason sand. Before and after I laid out the sand I treated the area with weed killer and insecticide. It rained before I put the sand down so when I laid it out it was good and moist. (YouTube pool set up video advised it would help compact the sand better.) I tampered it down good with a lawn roller. Then it rained again and I found out it's supposed to rain everyday this week, 50/60%. Is it logical to finish the set up on the damp tampered mason sand or should I be waiting until the sand dries out (sunny days) to finish the set up?
I've been working on this project since the latter part of May due to the weather. I'm a single mother, on my own, trying to set up this pool as a gift to/for my soon to be 6 yr old autistic son's birthday next weekend. I'm weak and weary, my eyes are red, and my heart is completely in my stomach, actually it's in my ankles, at the notion that all my prep time, hard work, and money is literally about to or could be washed away. Please tell me there's still a bit of hope. Thanks, in advance, for your time and suggestions.
