Should have blogged the pool problems sooner!
Right after writing the last message, the sun was coming out and I decided to go look for the hole again… I took the vaccum head that has a little brush on it and started on little dark spots on the bottom of the pool scrubbing away the dirt to see if it was an illusion or really little spots of dirt… went to push a little branch out of the way and realixed that it wasn’t moving and it wasn’t a branch…. scrubbed a bit… it wasn’t dirt either… Ran in the house, got my bathing suit on and jumped in the pool… it was a slit in the liner, near the stairs and it was about 2 1/2-3 inches long… no wonder the water was going down so fast… I went to get the patch that I had bought on Sunday, got it ready and dove underwater and patched the hole…
I am pretty certain that there are no others… Simon had noticed that the dirt under the deck was a bit wet over the weekend and I had concentrated my search on that area but hadn’t looked much on the bottom since the water seemed to alway stop going down at about the same area so I had looked more around the sides… however, I think that we just hadn’t waited long enough to see the water go down more…
The boys and I played in the pool for a few minutes while I started the hose again… the sun was shinging and we had about 1/2 an hour in the sun… then I turned around and saw a storm coming in… we got everything together, and went in the house quickly and the storm hit a few minutes later and now there is a great breeze in the house…
