Of course, we did not pick our house because of the pool, but it was a definite plus!! We had images dancing in our heads of cookouts, pool parties, family gatherings, and friends galore! So when it came time to actually open the pool we were like kids in candy shop taking the cover off. We knew it was going to be work (and it is!) but worth it at the same time. Our goal for our first house was for it to become a place where our friends and family feel comfortable and enjoy being and we knew the pool would help us with that! :-)
This is what the backyard looked like the day we closed on the house.
We had owned the house for over a month before we had a chance to open the pool, so when the day finally came we could hardly wait! Here is what it looked like after we look the cover off.. yuck!
The pool opening didn't go as smoothly as I had imaged, but it was an adventure we will never forget! Remember the leaky pipe? You can read the whole story about opening the pool here.
Then we decided to trim the pine trees which made the backyard look so much bigger! What a difference!
And here is the backyard today, BEAUTIFUL!!
Just FYI- I mowed that yard!! Lookin' good right?!
What a difference it made when we put the cover on the cabana, it really changed the look of the whole backyard, I think it looks so inviting!
Thanks to our friends who gave us the table and chairs, which will come in handy for all the pool parties we will be having this summer!!
Who wants to go for a swim?!?
