Thanks everyone!! Work has started..........my husband started grading the yard tonight with a bobcat. Unfortunately, the spot that we wanted to put the pool has a big ole' stump there that we (he) found while grading and now we had to find a different location for the pool. This was not easy since our yard is small and we don't have many choices. We were trying to put the pool as close to our existing deck as possible so we could just build off that, but now it's going to be further away. Oh well. What can ya do, right? Hopefully he'll finish the ground prep tomorrow morning and then get to the people's house we bought the pool from around 1ish to start tearing down. He'd like to try to put the pool up at our house on Sunday but I think that's alot of work for one weekend! However, Sunday's weather here in Ohio looks like perfect weather to put up the pool. Partly sunny with a high of 68 degrees. I'm sure I'll have 1,000 questions here before long...........thanks again for the great links and the words of encouragement!
