Above-Ground Pools: Three Solutions for Sprucing One Up
8May 11, 2011
An above ground pool seemed like the best choice for my wallet, but then I began to think of the stigma/image/everything else that goes with one in your yard. All I can think about is the one my less than refined neighbors have that takes up their entire yard, the ones collecting rain water and leaves, and the ones that are empty with one side collapsed and lying on the ground. These are clearly not what I want people to see in my yard. So, I got to thinking of some ways that I can make my children's dreams/current desires come true without ruining my yard or savings account. [ . . . ]

Mom a real estate agent, and dad a working-around-most-weekends, semi-professional *ahem* handyblogger. And Ayeah! *grin* [ . . . ]

Mirrors are your best friend. Mickey Rourke's best friend is a shroud over the mirror. But you, my friend, will find that mirrors are freaking awesome. Awesome like seeing Luke Perry naked in that episode of "Oz" when he was going to church. They are a fantastic investment, and you can usually pick them up cheap of Craigslist or at a thrift store.
