Preparing for the Pool, one week ago

This tree is standing right where the deep end would be, so Clint got to play Paul Bunyan.
It was Tennessee Cedar, like the one Seth used to make Clint a farewell pen. Thanks, Seth! It smelled yummy.

So this is the amazing thing about Bartlett, TN. Any bulk item you want to get rid of, a fridge, an entire tree--you just put it at the curb and they haul it away. We doubted they would really do it and were afraid of a huge fine, but sure enough they came and nabbed a 6 foot high--21 foot long pile of branches with 3 grabs. Then the guy pulled a rake off the truck and tidied up our lawn! We couldn't believe it. This in a poncho in the pouring rain! We applauded from the porch.

WOW! THESE PICTURES ARE SO AMAZING I WILL USE ALL CAPS TO ILLUSTRATE THE AMAZEMENT!!! A POOL IN TWO DAYS? WHAT? THAT IS AWESOME! HOPEFULLY A COMPLETED POOL WON'T BE A DISAPPOINTING CONCLUSION TO ALL THE COOL TOYS THE BOYS HAVE BEEN WATCHING! Ok, that's exhausting. Can't wait to see the finale picture. You guys look like you're having too much fun!
