The Steedly Pool

We had only been in the house a week or so before we discovered we had purchased a pool - it was hiding in our backyard, and presents it self every time it rains.

Needless to say, it does present some problems and some disappointment for the boys since they have a new playset and havent been able to play on it as much as they want to for this reason ...

OR..you can be like Ty and say that it just adds to the fun because you can fall into the water if you slip off the monkey bars!

Then again, if you ask Canon ...its not all fun and games :)

My dad said to take pictures from several different angles, and he could tell you exactly what to do:). He needs to know exactly where the water is draining from AND where it is going after it leaves your yard. You will have to build up your yard with dirt and sod and change its contour. But he needs pics to see HOW you need to change the contour. There are a few other options, too, depending on the situation. He said a couple of things about drains and pipes, but I didn't really understand:)

Adrian did just that ..I have them, now what do I do with them? Does your dad really want us to bug him about his, cause Adrian is about to lose his mind and your dad may wish he opted out :)

I knew it was bad, but that is crazy!

aside from the reality of too much water...I'm just commenting on the hilarious picture. Priceless.
(But I am sorry about the mystery pool you acquired without knowing it. We have the same problem, but not the same size of problem. I wish I knew how to fix it.)
