Do you own a pool? Seeing as it's a drought and pool owners must get a water tank or a cover, just curious. So do you?  I do  How deep Ps this is do you own one currently, not did you.  |

It took 4 truck loads of soil to fill it, the last truck load was topsoil from a leech drain, so everything grows like crazy. We still have a freezer half full of peas from last year... |

I wish  I have always wanted to have a pool. I did have one as a kid (round above ground) and when I got married the second time another round above ground pool. I have always wanted a beautiful, free form in ground pool with landscaping. Sun lounges and umbrellas, a cabana 'boy' who serves iced green tea with lemon on demand and applies SPF+30 sunscreen when needed. Oh and peeled cold cooked king prawns with my seafood sauce.  oops, sorry I went off track there for a while, I was dreaming, obviously!  |

We used to have these blow-up boats in the 90s that we played in. But other than that we never had a pool. |

hehe Suzih that sounds like a nice little dream there.
We have a pool. We had to get the base of pool re-painted again so it all got drained and was completed last week. The guy would come early each morning and with a set of keys make his way to the back and do abit of work on it each day. Last thursday was his last day and that afternoon he just shoved a hose in the pool. We got home that night and we could hear the water pipe but we weren't sure where it was coming and didn't bother going outside. It wasn't until the next morning that we went outside and realised that the hose had been on all night.

Luckily that friday monring I went out to grab a top off the line around 6am and I saw the hose. Around 70% of the pool was filled. I always thought there was a more complex procedure to filling a huge pool rather then just shoving a hose in there but then again I guess when u think about it theres really no other way is there.

Yes Hardly use it though. It was finished early this year and we got one of those new self cleaning pools. Self cleaning? Yeah right! We (or should I say I) still have to clean out the filters and the basket thingies (there are three of them) every two weeks and it takes over an hour each time (and I always get stuck doing it and I dont even use the stupid thing). Sorry, just taking out my frustrations  |

Only an above ground splasher pool that gets used for at least 6 months of the year nearly everyday.
We are in the process of organisting installation of an inground pool within the next month or so, and we are all looking forward to it. |
