First day of summer and this is the pool today. Here is the story about the pool: When my daughters were about 7 and 10 they wanted a backyard pool. I told them that if they did all the digging together we would make a pool. They did 100% of the digging! and the pool turned out great. It is a concrete shell and I used leftover bits of tile and slate here and there. Now my oldest daughter is in Americore in Texas and "my baby" is in Law School in Washington D.C. so the pool is MINE!
