Yeah, because those above ground pools take SOOOO much excavation.

Yeah, and Roland could knock a hole big enough in his fence to fit the lawn tractor through so it won’t be stranded in the garage.

How do you get the bobcat out after you dig the hole? Do you just leave a slope past the edge of where you need the hole to be then fill it back in? :dunno:

It just stays in the hole, they are disposable. You just dig a little deeper than you need and concrete right over the bitch. 🙂

The hole is going to be slanted anyway because you have to have a shallow end, I guess you just do the last little bit by hand. :dunno: either.

RAYMER pool cover - safe enough to walk on. With two little ones that’s important. I guess you could use a tarp with sand bags, but I’d rather be safe.

Have you ever been around little kids? Their ingenuity will amaze you sometimes, and I’m defenately with her, rather have the pool cover and be safe than take a chance with a damn fence…

A guy I work with has a sensor on his pool that when waves are made it aounds an alarm inside the house and around the pool area, so if the cover is on and someone falls in, everyone knows about it. That’s a cool idea.
