Our Surprise

A few posts back, I told you that we "might" have a surprise to share.  Well it's official now, WE'RE GETTING A POOL!  We were waiting for the appraisal to come back to see if it was high enough to include the pool in the mortgage....and it was!  

Mr. Manning met me at the house and marked off the future spot of our pool.  (That's it outlined in orange)

 The fence guys came out and set the posts.  They'll be back tomorrow to fence in 3/4 of the yard, leaving a space for all the heavy equipment to get through.  

 Here's the view from the back porch.  It's a little hard to see the outline, but you get the idea.

They'll be back next Monday to start digging!  Getting the pool will delay us TWO MORE WEEKS getting into the house, but we figure it's worth it!  I just hope it stays warm enough for us to enjoy it at least once or twice before winter!
