Swimming pools? Good idea? Does it improve the value of your property at all? What is a good design? How much should it cost? What construction methods are used? Who's good at this and who's a shyster?
~KitchenManager #1
and what temperature is the water in yours, Terry?
~stacey #2
and can I come splash around in it??!?!?
~KitchenManager #3
(I hope somebody calls and lets me know...)
~stacey #4
whether or not I have permission??
~KitchenManager #5
everyone has permission...some people just have potentially different receptions...besides, I have a cell phone now (although it's not as cool as Paul/Terry's or Ray's...)
~terry #6
temperature.The temp. is 66 right now. It's climbing every day with this warm spell and these sunny days. When it gets to 68 it will be Barton Springs temperature.

speaking of swimming pools (which we were speaking of, right?) mine is full of allygaters, i'm sure. it's an above ground, so how they get in there, i don't know. the one thing that's been a problem for us is nut grass growing through the thick and expensive liner we have. we also dug down about a foot and put grass/weed killer down. this darned nut grass comes through anyway. any ideas? (i think the next time i have a pool, i'm gonna be able to afford the pool maintainers to stop by and do all the bl sted work)......

Two days of 80 degree weather forecast. Maybe my pool will hit 70 degrees and it will be swim season again! That would be great! I don't know what to do about them allygators and weeds, maybe get a better liner? And hire an allygator wrestler. Your pool area must resemble that Rousseau painting I posted in art, "The Jungle".

COOL! Gator wrestling at Wolf's!!! whaddaya want me to bring?!?!
~wolf #10
skewers? we could have a gator roast!!
~autumn #11
Let's call that guy from Animal Planet! You know, Steve, the crocodile hunter! Too cool!
~KitchenManager #12
think we could just heat the pool up enough to have a gator boil?
~stacey #13
only after I see some wrestling going on... or should I say Wrastlin'?
~wolf #14
wrastlin is bamer talk *hehe* i don't know how we'd get that pool up on a burner, wer, but if you gots any ideas, let me know.....should we throw in some taters and corn?
~autumn #15
We could steam some Maryland blue crabs...
~KitchenManager #16
okay...Autumn's got the crabs...I get to build the fire... the correct spelling would be "wrasslin'," Stace, and I think you get to bring the vegetables...what are we missing? well, besides the beer (and whatever Wolf drinks...)
~terry #17
Who's bring the crocs?
~stacey #18
missing the point Paul.... Wolfie's already got em... in her POOL!
~terry #19
Uh huh.
~stacey #20
she DOES!!!!! I swear it! (based on the information she has shared with us, her dear springuers..
~terry #21
So you're promising us crocodiles!
~stacey #22
i said I "swear" not "promise"....
~autumn #23
Um, I think she actually said alligators, not crocs. But it doesn't matter! They still like to wrassle!
~terry #24
Is there a chance you could post a picture of this, wolfie?
~KitchenManager #25
just attend the party, Terry, and webcast it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~wolf #26
yeah, they're gators. got a freshwater pool, you know and i don't think the freshwater crocks would care for the weather we're having to make the trip up....
