What did you accomplish today?

We have been fighting with the pump on our new pool for 2 weeks now... wondering why the damn pressure is so low. After calling the pool guy and getting some outrageous service fee quote, I tackled it myself. Thanks to some words of encouragement and a youtube video... I decided to fix it my damn self

The impeller was clogged! With a tennis ball to block the water flow in the skimmer & a flat head screwdriver and a few curse words I got it fixed!

The pump is quiet and fountain is spraying water like a waterfall. Now, if the weather would just warm up so we could swim!!
