Chris Dieter has a mean streak. Out here on the rock(west of I35) EVERYTHING is above ground. Even my pond dug out wih a big backhoe is only half submerged. He dug what he could and then built up the rest. The fiberglass was totally above ground. Which is why it would vibrate with the bellows but not why fiberglass cools or heats so quickly. It is like the big galvanized tubs they both warm up and cool off quickly. The concrete pools (also above ground) feel warm much longer after the sun has gone down.
Growing up in Houston there are a few things I miss; how fertile the soil is, how easy it is to dig, and the relatively mild winters. I don't miss the humidity or all the people. D.C.
