Aquisition

So, this lovely weekend, I got a knock at the door, which Gannon was too quick to open...grrr, and there stood DJ, our 13 year old neighbor, asking if I would be interested in having their old swimming pool. Now, just so you have a little insight on my background knowledge with pools, I know A LOT. I grew up riding in my dad's pool service truck from age 5+. It just so happens that my dad opened his own pool service/water treatment company, The Water Connection, when we moved to Bushnell in 1988. I worked in the shop from age 14+ and began a pool cleaning route when I began driving at 16. I worked for him until I moved to Orlando in 1998, where I was referred by a representative to work at a pool franchise, Pinch A Penny, while finishing school there. Totally awesome! Now mind you, all these years in the pool business, I knew that Walmart anything was crap and you should seek professional pool personnel, like myself for your pool troubles. NEVER would one want to own a little pool with a shotty pump/filter combo...oh no, no, no. It is considered a joke to own one. Fast forward to the present time. I now have one of those shotty pools on my back deck! Haha! My sister and father are never going to let me live this down. Seriously, never. Anyhoo, I'm happy to report that the pool is up and running, chemicals are balanced and, not for nothing, but my kid just LOVES it! So, come on over gals...pools open! Hahaha!!!

Poster child for Walmart Easy Up pools. Oh boy.

Hands up! Whoohoo!

Stop drinking that water, Boy!!!

This kid lives the life, I tell ya.
