Does anyone have any exciting plans to take advantage of the warm weather? I’m hoping I can make it to the beach this year… but I’m not holding my breath. Luckily, my deck is lovely and private.

    Bought a bunch of outdoor furniture and we’re putting up a tall privacy fence so we can have a little nudist oasis in our yard. Going to also move the stock tank pool close to the patio for some skinny dipping. Going to be a good summer. Will probably have some fellow nudists over for a BBQ once it’s done.

      That sounds lovely!! We live right in the city but luckily our yard is completely private. I’m hoping to get a pool in the next few years which we’ll be able to dip in.

            We got a 10 ft pool and we didn’t bury it at all. It’s kind of the perfect depth for both kids and adults because as an adult you can sit in it on the bottom with your arms over the side like a hot tub. For little kids, they can reach the bottom so they feel a lot more comfortable. We just got a little Intex pool pump for it and it works fantastic! Once we get it moved into the privacy fence area we’re going to build a little half deck/bench around one corner of it.

              This is great! I didn’t realize you could add a pump. I assume you add chlorine too?

                Yep. Not much, but with the pump/filter and a little chlorine you can keep the water clear all summer.

                    No liner. Figured it’s designed for holding water for cattle all year round so it should hold up fine for the few summer months we use it. Second season for it and only a few small rust spots where we had some magnets holding hoses.
