The never ending sad story.

fill-pool

For some reason, the Weather Channel has video about people who are filling in their pools because they can’t afford to keep them. I guess the weather causes the water to evaporate… Well anyway, it’s a slightly different take on the crappy economy, empty pool syndrome. Check it out.

- Thanks to Mac for the tip.

    somebody needs to follow the contractor who is doing this so skaters can get some!!!

    Three or four years ago I answered an ad where a guy was giving away pool coping. Turns out he and his wife were doing this same thing. They had just bought an older house that had a DIY square pool (really, really square = no trannys) in the backyard. They were filling it in for a garden. One of their friends told them pool block is golden to skaters, so rather than tossing out, they ran the ad. It lifted right up and I got about 30 something blocks for free.
