It *might* sound odd, but really, I have it all worked out in my head how it
will come out.. I am trying to convince the hubby now and short of trying to
draw him pictures he just can't seem to *get it*. The kids don't use the
pool anymore.. he mentioned taking it out and putting an in ground pond
where it was.. I told him I have been drooling over the thought of turning
it into an above ground pond for years now. Leave the pool liner in, attach
something to cover the hole where the skimmer is.. use sand bags to make
areas up higher for plants and *landscape* it so to speak.. Pile some along
the sides to make areas more of a shallow bog then drape pond liner over it
all. There is a great deck around about 2/3s of the pool.. the open part
could be covered up using landscape timbers to make a wrap around planter
sort of stair stepped up along the pool.. Anyway, I know it would work and
look great. I am *sure* I have seen a webpage where someone had done this or
something similar but all I am finding is in-ground pools turned into ponds.
Does anyone here know of anyplace I could find pictures of an above ground
pool made into a pond? Or am I going to have to get out the crayons...
