Where do we start?
The pool was first because the longer the debris is in the water the greener it gets.
The pool had to be so we could get in and cool off while working the next 8 days.
Total 10 days to clean up the mess.
WE ARE BLESSED....
You can't see the limbs that were under the water. the pool is 10 feet deep at the end where bob is and 5 feet at the other end.
It took both of us EIGHT hours to get the pool empty. He would hook the limb and drag it up so I could grab a part and hold until both of us could drag them out.
He scooped, I dragged them to the gate and made a pile, when most of it was out, I dragged all the limbs to the curb while he brushed and skimmed and

Wow is all I can say. And you do make a good team!
What an enormous amount of work! I hope you're starting to recover from it. ❤️
that is hard work...hugs to you, we hope you can fix all things what naughty Ian damaged...
Unbelievable! And how do you get the dirt out? I could see a tree down in the first pic. Was that a narrow miss for the neighbour? Hard to belive you can get the pool from green to clean without draining it and starting again. We hope you got some calming dips in after all that. xxx Mr T and F
What a difference! I can see that all took a lot of hard work to get it the way it looks now. Hope you aren’t as sore as you have been.
My gosh...a true job of work!!
Just regular maintenance on a pool is hard enough work. This was quite a mess you had to clean up. It really does sound exhausting. You two did a great job of getting it cleaned up though
I could imagine the scene after the hurricane hit and now your photos give us the stark reality of what you had to do to clear up the mess. Falling trees and branches are what I worried about most for you in that situation. I know you're both bruised and battered in body and mind so do take care, rest as much as you can.

Like Tigger, I imagine you will now have to drain and clean before refilling the pool? Or is there a magic water vac that can cope with that muck? No wonder you are exhausted... YAM xx
Hello,
You are a good team, working together. So much debris and dirt, you did a great job. That your downed tree or a neighbors? Were the neighbors out there cleaning up too? Rest up and take care. Hope you have a great day!
What a job! I know I really cannot imagine it. I would be too sore to move.
Ugh, what an ordeal!
At any point did it cross your mind to just pull the plug and start over? I'm shuddering to think what it would have cost to pay someone to do what y'all accomplished.
I am giving you and Bob a standing ovation. OMDs what a huge job that must have been. I remember saying at first you couldn't find chemicals for the pool water...so happy it was ready when you needed to cool off
Hugs Cecilia
That looked like a tremendously huge job. So was the water safe for Bob to be in? Glad you have that cleaned to cool off.
Teamwork is key!! So glad that you have such a reliable team mate for life!
Wow what a job!!
I don't blame you for being sore and tired.
We're too old for that kind of work!

God Bless you two for all the work you have done. The pool was really a mess and it's looking so much better.
Y'all are amazing!!! So much work but you DID it!!! What a transformation! What an ordeal! But you survived and I am so happy to see your posts again!
