Bill has been working on our pool water these past few days. We hired a pool chemical company to take care of our water about a month ago. Within days it was turquoise, then green, then yellow-green with the appearance of pea soup. Not quite as thick as that, but very cloudy and the same color. The company said the chlorine was fine and we needed to run the filter more. After running it non-stop for a week and the water's looking the same, dh came to the conclusion that it wasn't going to get better with the chemical company and he'd better fire them.
To do a chlorine shock to a pool our size, you put in about 5 pounds of powdered chlorine. In two administrations yesterday, Bill put a total of 15 pounds into our pool. It's amazing the difference a LOT of chlorine makes!
It's still not the clear light blue it should be, but it is an 85 on a scale of where it was (0) to where it should be (100). It's so much better that I'm pretty sure we'll be swimming in it again by Monday.
Another project he did was one Elizabeth had been asking him to do--build a bird house. I couldn't get a very good picture because of the lighting, but here is the bird house, about 20 feet in the air. Just let me catch a neighborhood cat trying to climb that pole!
