The Pool was acting up this morning, so I decided to take matters into my own hands.....big mistake.
I've messed around with this stuff before with no problems....but not today.
{probably because the pump knew Dan was laid up}
I've always taken pride in the fact that I can fix just about anything, and when it comes to the pool Dan always has me fix it....because...he says the pool likes me.
Well, I could of fixed this ....if I were stronger and a contortionist.
Danny hears me banging away outside, comes out to take a picture of me...
Hence, the crazy woman picture. {remember, I warned you to look away.}
There has always been a flaw in our pool system...but we could never figure it out....we have had several pool companies out here to check it out....well, leave it to me....I found what the flaw is...no shut off valves for the out-take pump. {how could a pool guys not know that?}
I went to clean out the second pump... I turned what I thought was the shut off valve for the water...{which turns out to be a dummy valve...it does nothing.}
Hence, once I took the lid off the water kept flowing....and I wasn't strong enough to hold the lid down and turn at the same time.
So for the next 45 minutes I stood on the lid....while waiting for Sam to come rescue me. {I totally could be on survivor.}
He finally came....and the two of us tried & tried but couldn't get it to close....so we had to lower the water in the pool until gravity no longer sent a flow of water to the valve. .....Then Sam put the lid back on.
A call is in to a pool service guy.... and now I can tell him what to do to fix it....crazy.
But all in all...it was pretty funny.
I'm sure Sam was thinking "my parents are quite the pair, time for the home."
Thanks Sam for rescuing us today.
{as revenge for Danny taking my picture, I think I will make him laugh lots today. =)
