September 8th? How many weeks do you actually get to use the pool? 8-12?
Longer, if I wasn't so damn cheap. Heating the pool is what costs a ton. Some people up here open their pools around the start of May and keep them open to the end of September. I could do that, but probably cost me $300 for May/September each
Not worth it.
This year May and the first week of June were miserable and we wouldn't have spent a single day in the pool. We opened the pool and bam, it warmed up. I usually open around the 1st of June and keep it open until about middle September, so a total of 14-15 weeks is the norm. It's worth it though, a ton of fun and we have people over all the time. It'll still be open on the 8th.
Free Beer!
Nope, beer is the price of admission
Bring some Big Rock. Jesse can keep his crappy Saskabush beer
