New back yard pool

Just getting the finishing touches completed on our new back yard pool....great day for it too.
My wife and I debated long and hard about whether we should actually take the "plunge" on this but hey what the heck.
It's something that we can enjoy all summer and the grandkids will love it too! :grin:
I don't know what everyones budget out there is but I heartily recommend paying the $14.99 at Bi-Mart for one of these beauties.

:grin:

Does it come with a diving board. Remember that when the water turns yellow, don't drink it accidentally! :smile:

Best swimming pool "trick:"

Sneak and float a giant size Baby Ruth into the public pool and watch it empty as fast as if a Great White Shark was in the pool.

Not that I have ever seen this mind you.... :grin:

I bought one just before school was out. One of those 15 foot soft side pools! It was only $250 and came with the pump and ladder. It was a snap to put up too! The kids have had a blast in it too. As for me, well it is a tough job, but someone has to sit out there sipping a cold one and reading a book poolside to keep an eye on them.

we got one of those $250 costco specials too (and we don't even have kids). i've fallen asleep on my floatie out there in the sun a couple of times (no bad burns though). one thing about 'em is that the spot has to be level for it. i had to drain mine and move it five feet to a slightly less unlevel spot. i think the total volume is something like 6000 gallons and i got about half of that down the mole hole before the wife came out and yelled at me.
