Cost of pool: $48
Cost of dog boots: $11.32
Cost of pool prep: $343.48...holy Newf poop!
Look on your kiddos face the first time in the new pool....PRICELESS!



We had planned to put this pool in for us because we don't yet live in a house we want to put in an inground pool. Buuuuttt, FuzzyDustBunnies and Owen got the fire lit to make this a therapy/dog/us pool.

For now it works and it was a ton of fun today as you can see by the rest of the
POOL FUN PICS

Here's a few suggestion for anyone who is considering this idea. Get the bigger pool (15'-18' wide 48' deep). Ours is only 10' wide and 30" deep. Sturdy dog boots. Balli's tore apart the first day but amazingly Keigen's redneck boots stood strong
. Lastly, build an actual staircase entrance into the pool. Keigen uses the ladder/platform great but Balli, as you can tell from the pics chooses to go over the side. With a deeper pool, stairs would definitely be needeed and that was my intention but the design didn't quite work.

If anyone would like more info on how or better yet why
we did this, pm me. It was a fun project. Definitely things I would change but poor Ross is still recovering from all it took just to do this one. He says this will work till we get our next house with an inground pool...I think...we'll see next spring when we're still in this house!


Edited this post to post a warning. These are pool pics and we are wearing bathing suits. Tried to cover up some but be prepared to bust a gut laughing cause I didn't photo edit us out. I'm too lazy...sorry

TOO COOL! We're (hubby doesn't know this yet) going to get an above ground pool for our daughter, Bauer and Titan, just as soon as we move. I have the perfect excuse. Bauer needs it for rehab therapy from knee surgery. We'll be
e-mailing you for pointers.

Looks like you guys had a blast.

Your captions are hilarious...and I've got to say that I love the "Event Staff" t-shirt your assistant supervisor is wearing. I'm sure this project WAS an event!

Oh this looks like a great idea!! I cracked up with the one laying down with the booties. What a HOOT !! LOL Akira discovered her lifeguard instincts when I was in the pool. She climbed up the deck and she dove in. WELL!!! What a heck of a time getting her out using the ladder!! I have huge bruises and scratches all over my legs. So I bought steps for in the pool.
 
Looks like your plan worked out great!!! Everyone was having a blast and the captions are a HOOT! I love the redneck boots too.
I'm showing these to Kevin and saying "See? It CAN be done!!!"

Thanks for all your hard work and testing the waters out for all of us. Now to get your plan going in our backyard!!!
