Well, I’m way past worrying if it is funky. Haven’t used it for swimming for about 5 years. The funk just sinks to the bottom!! It also occurred to me a while back that if I were to have a fire here, it would be useful for that, too, so I’m just going to let it sit.

I’m enjoying reading all the great info here, aren’t you? I’m learning a lot, and getting a lot of good ideas.

Welcome to the thread, I am happy you are finding information you can use.

Do join in and post or ask questions, if you care to.

If one had an old swimming pool and a garden, why not use the water in it for the garden on a daily basis and you would not need to use the chlorine in it.

Water is the first thing we will loose.

Our local Police scanner, early this morning said the electric was off in several areas and soon the tanks would be dry at the water company, plus there was a major leak in the water line for the same area.

How easy it is to want a backup water supply.

yes, free republic is a great source of all kinds of information...Got on a thread a few months back, some freeper wanted to know the best kind of home safety gun to get and with hundred replies, about 80% said Remington 870 12 or 20 gage shot gun, some liked the pump, some like the automatic. so I went out and got one.(12 gage pump).My son's approve of it. Good gun One of my son's knew I was getting a shotgun so for my birthday he brought me a big beautiful case, that is too big for me and too heavy. So hes taking it back and buying me shell's. I have 5 boxes of practice shells so he's getting me longer ones...All my son's and most of my grandson's hunt bow and arrow. Several hunt deer also in gun season. My 14 year old grandson got his first deer this year...They won't starve if things get too bad. They can always hunt...
