After almost a year I (we) drained the pool for the xx time. Took 2 days. The pool pump pulled 2/3rds of the water out in 5 hours. But the last 1/3rd with a 1/6 hp sump pump took another 1.5 days. The water was a cool GREEN. Floaties, plastic, nails, sand, roofing, palms, roots, rotted pool cover, algae and 13,000 gallons had to come out. What a mess.
Then $50 of fresh water had to be put back in. New cover and lots of chlorine.
Fixed two outside doors with paint peeling. The sun is really hard on paint here. Painted the entire outside trim last fall. Put up a new evaporative cooler last moth.
Going to Sears today to buy a new dishwasher. The present one is 20+ years old and now doesn't clean the dishes. I've fixed it several times. Still need to paint the garage and laundry room.
The weeds are trying to take over the yard. Had to re-cement the stone wall behind the shed. Put up a new shed. Fixed the doorbell.
Found out yesterday when our worst gas bill of $67, a single friend's was $140, so I feel much better about the expense and work of insulating the house.

I think we all celebrate a new dish washer. They aren't supposed to be held together with duck tape!
