I hate my pool.  I'm so sick of it I'd like to fill it in with dirt.

 

Enjoy!

What do you hate about it?

Which kind do you have?

Inground pool. Not salt water.


What do I hate about it? It's just constant maintenance. Something is ALWAYS requiring maintenance whether it be mechanical or water related. It's pretty much a money pit and as little as I use it, it is pretty much of an annoyance at this point. It came with the house when I bought it 11 years ago. I definitely WAS NOT looking for a house with a pool, but it was there and I loved the house and property.


Other than that. I love it.

I worked with a guy who did just that as soon as his kids left home. The concrete around the pool was jackhammered up and tossed in, then filled in with 11 dump truck loads of dirt. He has a nice big yard now.

I can't begin to express how aggravated that damn pool gets me. If it isn't algae from all the rain, it's something mechanical. I made extensive repairs and replacements to the pump and cleaner pump when I first moved in. Now it's getting to the point where I'm starting to repair my repairs. And I won't even get started on those damn Polaris pool cleaners. Those things are just built to fail. That's not even counting the regular cleaning and chemicals.


Yep. I love my pool.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

Which, in itself, is logical.


Oh my God. I just blew my own mind.


I'd better go to lunch.

I just stooped to new lows for lunch.


I was in a hurry and went to McDonalds.


The hamburgers almost taste like meat now.

I figure, with any luck, I'll get sick and I can go home.

So I had to have a piece of equipment repaired and I've been waiting about a week to get the quote. They gave me a call today to tell me every part in the thing was shot and they could rebuild it for $1400.


I told him that a brand new one fully assembled was $1100, to which he said "yep, well that's what this will be." Ummm... Ok.


Then I asked if the motor section was under warranty because they rebuilt it for me last year, and the guy says "well that would be, but the motor is fine."


Ok so which is it? Everything is shot or just the pump section? And if the motor is fine then why is this costing so damn much? These fools, pretty sure they prey on people because they're the only ones around that perform this service.

After two solid months of good bowling, I sucked last night. I hate looking forward to something all week and then just falling flat on my butt. And, we're getting close to the end of the season so it hurt in the pocketbook too. Grrrrr.


I did get to drink beer.

Well then quit your complaining!

An Archimedes screw with a bevy of serfs to operate it. Duh.


Do I have to think of everything around here?
