My parents had a pool but it rarely got cold enough to be a problem. All they did each year was empty it, nothing complicated at all.<br /><br />Come the spring, though, and all the repairs, scraping and repainting...that was another matter altogether :DBotanisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098709722475364465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1828517374142265050.post-64095853649205152012011-11-14T22:35:17.416-08:002011-11-14T22:35:17.416-08:00I can sympathize with this post.

And somehow, it always seemed to be the windiest day while we were trying to cover the pool with the tarp....good times!!
