When the kids moved out, my husband and I lost something important: slave labor. Say what you will about the messiness of children, but don’t knock them until you’ve seen what they can do. My kids were wonderful, always doing chores around the house. I could really trust them to keep things running when I wasn’t there or if I got sick. One of the best things they did was to keep up the pool. We have a lovely pool, or at least we did until the last child moved out. Now, it’s up to me to take care of the pool. That’s why I called a Placerville pool service to take care of it for me. I figure that I would rather have a pool service come in than have to figure out how much chlorine should go in at what time of year. While I miss my kids, the pool service is a good second best.
