Day 71

Hail damage from yesterday's storm

"It will just take two hours, maybe three." I didn't honestly believe this, but I played along. We had just one more section of pavers to reset. Unfortunately that couple hour project required two trips to the hardware store and realizing that the new shortage is leveling sand, due to all of the pools being put in people's backyards! The weather looked more favorable today than on Memorial Day so we picked today as our official pool opening. He finished the pavers around 1:30, about the time the kids were jumping in to 65 degree pool water! Brrrrrrr! But there was no holding them back.

We spend the afternoon poolside. Watching the kids run between the pool and the hot tub. The heater needs a new motherboard so we are a few days out from a working heater. The pool gained 7 degrees in just one day with the sun. The forecast has some heat in it this coming week, but also a chance of rain EVERY day.

We ended the night with cheeseburgers and dining alfresco. A perfect pool opening!
