The pool

We bought a 2 foot pool for the kids to play in this summer.  The pool requires the ground to be flat because of the way it fills and stand up.  Well, since our property is nothing but hills it was really hard to find a level spot in the back yard.  We tried twice but failed.  The second try we got it almost full then the sides caved and it turned into an egg shape and the water started running out.  After a discussion and examining the back yard we decided we need to haul in some fill dirt.  I drove the old Toyota pickup to Pioneer Sand and back three times.  We found out the truck holds about 1 ton in it's small bed.  It only cost us 22 bucks and we had a level area for the pool, the erosion by the concrete porch filled and all the holes filled.  Took 3 tons of dirt and alot of shoveling.  But now the kids have a fun thing to play in this summer and we got a work out.

This pic is the second attempt but the left and right sides gave way and turned in to an egg shape.
