Things You'll Need:
- a telephone and some money
-
Step 1
Once the pool is up and running you'll be amazed at all the friends, relatives and neighbors who suddenly start coming by for a quick visit...and wanting to swim. These people have no idea of the invasion of privacy you are experiencing. They don't even think about the extra cost of pool chemicals or "use" of your bathroom or the mess they make...
-
Step 2
Heaven help you if someone or their kids has a problem while swimming in your pool...so you better be watching them the entire time...but after all, it a relaxing thing to do and you have all the time in the world, plus food and snacks for these folks, ...you don't mind, do you? HA
-
Step 3
Pick up the phone and order a FLAGPOLE installed in your front or side yard. Besides the American flag, buy a SKULL and CROSSBONES flag. Tell EVERYONE that when the American flag is flying the pool is closed. Tell them DO NOT CALL, ASK, COME OVER OR DROP BY when you see the flag.
-
Step 4
Then tell them...when the Skull and Crossbones flag is flying...THE POOL IS OPEN ! Tell them to bring their own towels, drinks and snacks or at least contribute. Tell them supervision of their kids is required...and not by you. Tell them the normal hours when the party should be over.
This will get you your life back! ...don't be shocked if you notice lots of cars going by every day to see what's on the flagpole!
...This works well...ENJOY! jim
