The time had come for us to put an official end to the first summer in our new home. We knew it was time to close the pool for two reasons: 1. It was getting cold and we hadn't been in it for a month and 2. See picture below....
This is what the filter looked like....
and the pool didn't look much better. Too many leaves and little helicopter things were clogging the filter, collecting in the bottom of the pool, and floating on top...
It was an easier process than we though, thank goodness. Made a trip to Illini Pools and $120 later we were all set! Took DJ most of the day by the time he got the cover out, cleaned it, drained some water, added A LOT of chemicals, and got the cover on. Here are some pictures I snapped of the process!!
Cleaning it one last time...
Draining some water
Brrr.... he is putting on a brave face for the camera
One last time in the pool for the year, a little cold for me!
Our helpers showed up and it was time for the cover
Bye, Bye Pool!! See ya next year!
Tightening the cover down, and bro playing with Wrigley in the background!
The backyard looks so sad, can't wait til next year!!
