dRAINing the Pool or Monsoon Madness

Written By: JoJoisms - Sep• 21•13

We picked Monsoon Day to have our pool drained in order to begin the process of resurfacing.  It was such an odd sight that I decided to take a series of pictures documenting the ridiculous event.  If we had any sense at all (or foreknowledge) we’d have drained the pool last week and had the monsoon filled it back up again for free!

Monsoon vs Water Pump: it was a dead heat at first, but the pool began making headway.

The lizard who usually rides this bike had to highTAIL it out of there.

The water level on the side of the house rose rapidly to well above ground level.

As the pool water got down close to the bottom,  Old Faithful erupted. After a while only a puddle remained and the motor shut itself off.

    Monsoons… are some of the most amazing, crazy, beautiful types of weather I have ever seen.
    I did learn that hiking in monsoon weather isn’t necessarily advisable, but it was pretty amazing to watch the Runoff build up in seconds.
