Watermom's New Pool Adventure

[Watermom]

Called my pool store back yesterday afternoon to let them know that I still had not heard from the pool installer guy. (He is not a pool store employee, just an independent guy that they have referred many customers to in the past few years. They say he does really good work, though.) At any rate, after having called them mid-week to tell them I couldn't get a hold of this guy, they, too tried to reach him and left him a message saying either call me or call them back. He didn't return their call either. So, they gave me the name of somebody else that they use and that guy called me back about 15 minutes later and was at my house a half hour after that taking a look and giving me an estimate. So, if my pool and liner which were ordered a week ago arrive around Thurday of this week which they think will happen, then we are on the schedule for this guy to install the new pool next weekend. After working most of the day yesterday and out there again today, my old deck is almost totally dismantled.

(I'm glad they got me on the schedule so quickly. I normally get my equipment hooked up by now and start chlorinating as our weather gets warm pretty early and I don't want green water. Since I'm getting ready to dump the pool, it seems a waste to go to the trouble to hook up the equipment and start dumping bleach in but my pool is getting a slight green tinge. Hoping it doesn't get too bad by next weekend, but temps are supposed to be in upper 70s so I expect by next weekend, it will be pretty green and yucky! I have a feeling I'll end up throwing some bleach in there cuz I just can't stand to see it turn green!)
