that's bloggable...

The other night, I was over at Tara's house...hanging out with her bro, really, but saw her as a perk. I was telling her about my pool, and all that has happened since Laurie and I got it...and she told me I had to share this particular story.


...So, last monday, the pool was still not full...Laurie turned the hose on when she got home around 3pm...then went to FHE later on, by that point I was home. I knew she wanted to do laundry later, and since the hose was hooked up to the washer hook up. So, around 7pm, I turned off the hose, and got everything all cleaned up...

So like literally 15 mins later, one of my neighbors walks up to my house, and asks if I have water pressure. Now laurie had been worried about filling up the pool all weekend, so of course I'm thinking to myself, "Great, I've done it! I blew up the well." I mean, how do I hide the fact that I'm filling a 1700gal pool??? So, between myself and the neighbor we decided we'd wait like 20mins before we decided to call the property manager. So, I called laurie at FHE and told her what happened. And, I could hear the "I told you so in her voice"

Found out that a well has a reservoir in the pump that fills up as it empties. I just emptied it before it could fill back up. tee hee..

On a side note, Tara brought the kids over to play in the pool this evening...surprisingly it wasn't too cold. All the kids are accounted for, and I think Joy had fun, at least. ;)
