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?

and what temperature is the water in yours, Terry?
~stacey Wed, Mar 3, 1999 (18:03) #2
and can I come splash around in it??!?!?
~KitchenManager Wed, Mar 3, 1999 (18:05) #3
(I hope somebody calls and lets me know...)
~stacey Wed, Mar 3, 1999 (18:16) #4
whether or not I have permission??
~KitchenManager Wed, Mar 3, 1999 (18:46) #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...)

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".

~wolf Thu, Mar 4, 1999 (21:00) #10

~autumn Thu, Mar 4, 1999 (21:56) #11
Let's call that guy from Animal Planet! You know, Steve, the crocodile hunter! Too cool!
~KitchenManager Fri, Mar 5, 1999 (10:38) #12
think we could just heat the pool up enough to have a gator boil?
~stacey Fri, Mar 5, 1999 (16:20) #13
only after I see some wrestling going on... or should I say Wrastlin'?
~wolf Sat, Mar 6, 1999 (16:56) #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 Sat, Mar 6, 1999 (20:59) #15
We could steam some Maryland blue crabs...
~KitchenManager Mon, Mar 8, 1999 (01:19) #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 Mon, Mar 8, 1999 (08:40) #17
Who's bring the crocs?
~stacey Mon, Mar 8, 1999 (18:38) #18
missing the point Paul.... Wolfie's already got em... in her POOL!
~terry Tue, Mar 9, 1999 (09:07) #19
Uh huh.
~stacey Tue, Mar 9, 1999 (12:23) #20
she DOES!!!!! I swear it! (based on the information she has shared with us, her dear springuers..
~terry Wed, Mar 10, 1999 (11:09) #21
So you're promising us crocodiles!
~stacey Wed, Mar 10, 1999 (13:22) #22
i said I "swear" not "promise"....
~autumn Wed, Mar 10, 1999 (23:27) #23
Um, I think she actually said alligators, not crocs. But it doesn't matter! They still like to wrassle!
~terry Thu, Mar 11, 1999 (08:40) #24
Is there a chance you could post a picture of this, wolfie?
~KitchenManager Thu, Mar 11, 1999 (16:56) #25
just attend the party, Terry, and webcast it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~wolf Fri, Mar 12, 1999 (18:48) #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....
