Meet my Chick!

[drstratton]

So here is what I am dealing with.

It's this area of pool equipment that I wish to enclose. I need to be mindful of several things as I do this.

• The pool filter must be accessible to be removed out the top
• The electrical components must all be reachable
• I cannot enclose the pool heater in spring or fall but could/should enclose it for winter
• There must be adequate space to pass by the shed as you enter the yard from the side gate. Dealing with the woodpile has made this possible but I don't want to pinch it tight with the shed now.
• I need easy access to the main valve
• It should not be an eyesore like the equipment is today.

Here are some photos.

High of 57 here with lots of sunshine. I am hoping the last of the snow will go. It is definitely spring. The wild birds are tweeting and the chickens are shouting and I can feel the sun on the back of my neck.
Damn cat threw up on an area rug and it is warm enough for me to wash it outside.
I shouldn’t say ‘damn cat’ because I think there is something wrong with him and his tummy hurts. Poor baby (but why couldn’t he have thrown up in a tiled floor instead?).
I am getting a vet appointment soon I hope.

Haha! Not really funny but they will ALWAYS find the tiny rug no matter what

Hope your kitty feels better soon , They always get Sick on the carpet or better yet "the bed "

Truth!!!

Good morning WhoDat!

Ah yes. That is complicated. You also need to be able to access the equipment from all angles in case a part needs replacing. Good luck!

Unfortunately this time not so tiny. I just about could lift it rolled up to take it outside to wash down. I have to say it looks lovely now it is all scrubbed.

It is officially Spring today isn't it? I love that you remember that, but have a hard time remembering what day it is... I laugh, because I have the same problem! The wind is blowing like crazy here today...Spring has definitely arrived!

I always remember because it’s hubs Birthday!
Bittersweet day for me now though... it’s also the day my dad died

 

[WhoDatChick]

They never throw up on the tile, always the carpet. I hope kitty is OK or it's something easy to fix.

I’m laughing cuz we are all on the same page and obviously know what cats are all about!!

Good morning WhoDat and everyone

Good Sunday afternoon Grammy! We were out late last night... we had a teen event for our co-op... Murder Mystery game... but we changed it up some and had a kidnapping instead so the victim would be returned in the end
The girl was a “French actress”.... she won best costume! Found the whole outfit at Goodwill for $16!! She also did a phenomenal French accent! It was such a fun night!!

I'm glad you were able to get it cleaned up and bonus, it looks great. So not really wasted effort.
