We are moving along inside but thought I would share some of the rare days of sunshine we’ve had. The roof is FINALLY done. Luckily we were not paying by the hour! Now we have ventured into the realm of pool ownership. I know there are pool haters out there but I am a swimmer and general sun worshipper(no sermons, please. I know the risks of cancer and trust me the damage has been done) . So here is what I lovingly call the cess pool.  We bought the house as is in December so no telling what lies beneath. We purchased a small pump on eBay and that little thing worked like a champ. The water-soaked leaves were heavy and gross but it took about 3 hours and the cover was dry! We looked underneath and the water looks clear and smells like chlorine , so I think we are getting close! The mismatched lawn furniture needs some love.  I am thinking  of spray painting all the wrought iron stuff an aqua blue. Any thoughts or comments on that process?
