Devastation

I guess that you could say that we are now officially former pool owners. 

There is still a lot of dirt to bring in and the area has to be smoothed out, but the pool is gone.

It was the right decision, the logical thing to do.  Aside from the hours spent maintaining the pool, and the cost of chemicals, saving the 1200 kwh or more that the pool pump added to our light bill each month is going to be significant.  All that for a pool that we were actually in less than 30 hours a year – a lot less the past few years.

Still, we are going to miss it, and right now we feel a lot like that looks.
