Pool Blogging! – Part Two<\/b><\/p>\n

Ahhh. Now this is more like it. A house built somewhere in the late 30s, gently redone (Mom doesn’t like the color of the window frames, but I don’t really mind it.). It’s old school Palm Springs, and quite a relief from the former Kuckoo House (now called the Exxon-Mobil House in the memos we circulate here at swimming pool central).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dad’s redoing the existing pool to clean it up a little, jazz up the tile, get rid of the fountain in the center…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

…and convert it into a central spa. Relaxing in your bubbles on a virtual pedestal! How about that?<\/p>\n

This brings me to my new, most hated phrase: “water shaping.” What the hell is that, you ask? It’s what happens when you drop water onto other water in some controlled way, or you shoot it in the air in a manner that doesn’t freak out the pets. People used to call them “water features,” but that seems to be relegated to slimy ponds now.<\/p>\n

Right?<\/p>\n

Your pal,<\/p>\n
