Draining the pool

Talk about a rough day. I got a phone call around 5pm tonight from the company that is going to be here Monday to tear down the pool. Only 1 problem...they never bothered to show up today to drain it!!!!

He said that they would need to reschedule the teardown, and he's not sure why noone showed up to drain it and he didn't have anyone out in the field that could come by and start the drain.

Rather than having this project fall farther behind schedule I told him that I would go up to Home Depot and rent a submersible pump and take care of it myself, just be here Monday morning to do the teardown. This should be fun trying to deal with Tina again.

Since I've never actually used a submersible pump before, this was actually kind of fun. It pumped 64 gallons per minute. The whole pool would take around 4 hours to completely drain. Unfortunately I got such a late start draining it that I'll have to finish in the morning.
