Weekend Warrior Results


Oh how I wish I could show you photos of major accomplishments in my weekend projects tonight yet relationships take precedence over projects and I didn't quite finish what I set out to do. However, I did work hard (with the help of son #1) on the pool and I can share some of those pics!







If you recall the pool started off looking like this


I had let it go while Mark was ill and after his passing


and then the in-floor cleaning system quit working


I had that fixed and thus began the process of turning


this swamp back into a pool



My son #1 has been a huge help to me during these past few months


And pool cleaning was no exception


He scrubbed and scrubbed


Oops, he used dish soap .......... uuummmm


Long process of getting the 'suds' out!


Then I got to take over


These were the 5 1/2 year old filters


Which hubby and I cleaned together every 6 months


But it was really time for a change



I made a trip to "Shasta" Pools

to purchase new filters and salt

Then put the new ones in

I also cleaned all the skimmer baskets and long term filters

Refilled the pool and now I have this

I still have some chemical things to take care of


As well as landscaping issues


But this is a pool I would be happy to jump into


Sunday after church my refrigerator looked like this:











I think son #2 believes I will never feed him again


I just seem to have trouble keeping much of anything stocked


So we made a trip to the grocery store


And now the frig looks like this:



He will be so happy to have many snacks and maybe even a few home cooked meals this week


As for the office...


Well, lets just say the 1/3 of it is complete and hopefully you will get a peek next week:)


Considering Projects Completed Very Rewarding,


Cindy

  1. It is good to see you keeping busy with these projects and I'm happy for you that you have help. My son can relate to the fridge thing. I keep a lot in the pantry and freezer so the refrigerator itself doesn't look like there's much to eat and he complains! lol
