Re: [BlindHandyMan] Opening the pool
Jennifer, If I may, from my perspective of opening and closing a pool here in the Northeast . I have always welcomed extra hands and minds as we open and close the pool. we used to pay $250 to the company, Islander pools when we first got this pool some 11 years ago. However after listening to what these guys were doing I figured why not spend that extra $500 on some car payments or some good Scotch. this is a teamwork project of opening. first of all the pool is an above ground pool which is a 33 foot round pool. . what we are supposed to do when we close is to drop the water level below the input line where the water blows back into the pool. at that spot we unscrew that screw on piece which feels like it has an eye ball inside which in facts directs the flow of water. then that is unscrewed and replaced with like a rubbermaid winter cap , thus keeping the water from flowing back thru should the water level rise during the winter or cold months. then there is the plumbing for the discharge lines and pump all which must be taken apart and properly stored in containers which can be readily found again in the Spring. the old statement sometimes works as in many hands make light work well the many hands comes in removing the winder tarp or cover which has been tied or weighted down. I hang many gallon jugs of water to keep the cover tight during the winter. so to remove the cover one must first remove the melted snow/ water which might be built up on that same cover. we use a winter cover because of two bean trees we have as well as neighbors trees which dump all sorts of crap down which could end up in the pool. now also if the pool is closed properly the water should be clear and clean as there has been no sun exposure for many months. No sun means no algaie . . Once the winter cover is released, with extra hands and the excess water is either siphoned off or pumped off, then it is a process of rolling the cover off and letting it air dry on the lawn. More about the drying pricess in another email. Okay. Now we dump in about 2 1/2 gallons of chlorine shock which is about 11 to 12 % chlorine and I mix two one pound box's of arm and hammer baking soda with water and dump that in. . we add two garden hoses to bring the water level up and while that is being done several hands can be used to assemble the plumbing. Not a major job but if extra hands work together it is great. Once all this is done. the only sighted help I need is to check the ph and other levels in the pool. we used to dump in all kinds of chemicals such as stabilizers ,etc. but now we can just use the initial liquid shock. then add 3 inch chlorine tablets to an automatic chlorinator and flip on the switch. I might also ask an extra hand for the initial vaccuming with the big vac and installing the pool stairs which are like regular stails with a railing which are made of sturdy pvc material. these stairs are held in place by the weight of water which is pumped by hose into the railing which drains down into I think the lower stair. . anyone , blind or not can level up the stairs underwater and then we are ready to go. the rest of the season I use mostly an auto vac system which I can hook up as long as someone does not move my supplies. as for helping out your Friend who wants it all done right, just ask, how can I help and when do you want us there. What really ticks me off is when the work is all done the folks coming up the driveway and asking if there is any cold beer and is the pool ready. Now most folks who are nice would bring their own cooler and towels but. alas . well I'll stop here. this year I am locking the big backyard gate and only those who come thru the house will get into the pool. why you would ask? well that's another story. I'll just say you get lots of Friends , so called Friends when it gets hot out and you have a pool. but good Friends would offer to help in some way. such as one Friend is an awesome cook on the grill and is a great bartender but he cannot lift to help on other projects, so he is in like flinn. if there is other questions feel free to ask on or off list. thanks.Lee -- It's today! said Piglet.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Opening the pool
Hey, if the scientists at nASA can't get that stuff right, what can you expect from us? Seriously though, what goes into opening a pool? I have a friend with a pool who invites us over often. We always clean up afterwards, and bring our own towels to help keep down her work, but what else can we offer to do? She is a total control freak and may not let us, but still it would seem like the right thing to do to offer especially after you guys talking about the amount of work involved. BTW, yes I know my friend is a control freak because it takes one to know one. *smile* Jennifer - Original Message - From: Dan Rossi To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2007 7:51 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Opening the pool Dale wrote: That is not correct Mr. Rossi!

Dan, we are at a standstill. at this point my equal is in agreement somehow we get this sucker up and running and then put up a for sale sign. it is our eleventh year with this and I'm up to my ya know with attitudes and folks showing up oh is the pool ready yet.. anyway. no way to siphon this year as apparently the ice made some nasty cuts in the winter cover so as we shipon we are then lowering the water in the pool. I'll let it set for two days . today we got our usual 5 gallons of 11 or 12 per cent shock.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Opening the pool
That is not correct Mr. Rossi! Only the American gallon which is 128 ounces not the Imperial gallon used in England which is 160 ounces. In Canada and I believe Australia and New Zealand and quite probably some other remnants of the British Commonwealth of Nations, most of which have adopted Metric measures now will still have some legacy Imperial measurement systems around.
