Til next year





Summer is over for the pool. I went from still dipping my toes in one week to testing it in warm fall clothes the next.  I do all of the maintenance for our pool all season.  It’s really not too bad if you keep up on it and don’t let it get away  I don’t strip test it  I use actual reagents that are far more accurate and only add things like acid, borax calcium or baking soda.  I have the pool balanced and water lowered before the company comes out to close.  Fairly natural and it makes it easier.  I do NOT blow out lines or put the cover on  I hire someone at a discounted rate to do that.  We don’t add any winter chemicals.  Just raise the chlorine before closing and make sure it’s balanced.  The only clean up in spring is whatever dirt gets under the cover or worms that crawl in.  But we have a dolphin and she does a great job of spring cleaning.

The yard is almost ready for the winter after all of the seeding we did earlier this fall.  No more outdoor maintenance time to try to relax a little bit if possible.

By April we’ll be ready. 

Au revoir!
