No, it's not better

the second time around.



sigh.....

Yes. That's a pool. Gushing water onto our back patio. No, it's not as torrential as the last one, but it's still impressive.

And heck. It beats our record. We had our last one for what? 3 weeks?
This one made it a DAY. that is right, folks. It finished filling up yesterday. We hooked up the pump, and got in it for about 5 minutes before adding the chlorine and letting it run its cycle.

This morning I commented to Rick that it appeared to be leaning.
And. Well. That's cause the seam on the bottom was ripped. And the water was trying to come out.

And while we were gone, it found its way out, onto our yard and down the side of our house.
BEAUTIFUL.
Arrrrrrgh.
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH.

At least this one, we think, isn't our fault.
We'll dry it out, pack it up, and send it back to Wal-Mart tomorrow.

The question remains: Do we even attempt another one? Will third time be the charm, or will it be Three Strikes and You're OUT for the Baldwins??
