What A Load

Name a state where it’s 30 degrees at night one week ago and today it’s above eighty and your sweating your ass off? Minnesota the land of 10,000 lakes and just as many temperature variables. With the onset of heat its time to start thinking swimming pool, with such a short season its best to get going quickly and ever since my daughter was promised an eighteen foot pool this year instead of the twelve footer (which was more like a hot tub with all of us in it.) she has not shut up for one day since February. Her father told her he would get her the larger pool this year because she had learned to swim very well in the other one and as a family we had out grown it.

The wheels had been set in motion and two weeks ago Chad put up the new 6 foot privacy fence for around the new pool. Then we started calling dirt people, who knew it was so hard to get some dirt, we kept getting the run around from the local company, apparently they didn’t want to part with there dirt so after waiting a week and a half I called some other guys, well they came out the next day and get this they even asked what color dirt I wanted. I mean I knew there was black dirt and brownish dirt but my dirt is slate gray, it color coordinates with our slate gray crushed stone driveway. All this for a pool, unreal.
