Day #163

Thor & Captain America- To the rescue!!

What a day!!

The kids swam in the pool last night, we back flushed the filter and filled the clorinator with tablets. We were getting ready for the big 4th. of July party on Monday! We were ready!!

Then today disaster struck! Wendy called me at about 3:00pm to let me know that the pool somehow had drained out all but about 6 inches of water!! It was pretty much empty and we only had 3 day to get it fixed. So I got home and found out where the malfunction was located. The original cover on the pump strainer basket failed, a little tab on the lid broke off and the lid came off and proceeded to drain the pool! So off to Columbus to find a replacement part. Found one in Westerville, and also found out the "The Old Style lids" broke all the time. But the re-engineered ones are much better. That's what the lady at the pool place told us.

Back home part in place and the water hose back in the pool filling back up.

Now all that is left is hoping that we will get a lot of nice hot days to get the pool temp back up!

So there were a lot of people scrambling to get this thing back together. Mainly Wendy & Myself. But we managed to get it pulled together in a short amount of time. We were like superheros.. At least to the kids. They were sad when they found out it was empty!
