Pool's Open - It's Officially Summer!

We've been having some super nice weather the last few days and while it's still too early to get excited about anything consistent, we are using this time to get our pool open and ready for the season. 

As you know, we live in Western NY and that means that we have full-on seasons. If it's not summertime, it's not going to be hot enough to go swimming. Winter starts in November and ends sometime in April if we're lucky. 

Then we have wet, rainy, sopping rain weather for a few weeks that is so gross. Chilly, wet weather.

And then sometimes I feel like it just becomes Summer quickly after that. 

Friday was 88 degrees out. 

Although this week we expect Friday to only be in the 50's. 

Seriously.

But, we used the semi-nice day yesterday to get started on the pool opening process.

Pumping water out of the cover AND washing the quad at the same time. #redneckcarwash


I'm still SO grateful we built our deck at this size. I'm hoping to get our patio furniture out today (Monday). It started to rain so we had to go in. 

Mila started looking real old lately...not sure how I feel about it.

It started to rain a bit, but we got the cover off without any major issues.

He made one trip so far to fill the pool back up. We think it'll be maybe 8-10 trips. I took the time to skim all the shit off the top of the pool. There's still a lot more to do, but I got a good amount of crap off the top. Still a bunch of leaves at the bottom, but we'll get it. 


There's actually a chlorine shortage right now! I guess like with everything else...toilet paper, gas...people are hoarding. Not sure. But, there's a freaking shortage. Thankfully Steve had gotten enough last year (we normally buy in bulk) so we should have enough for a couple of months. 

Here we go, Summer!

I'm very excited to get this season going.
