phone calls while doing chores

Intex Easy Set 15' x 48" Inflatable Pool

I've been dreaming of having a pool in our modest backyard for YEARS and finally thought, why not try this lil' EasySet pool as a test? There's no wall structure, it's literally just a bag of water that stands up as you fill it. The top ring inflates. It's totally great! Comes with a ladder and filter, folks have suggested it might be worth it to upgrade the filter but so far the default is working great. It feels so SUMMERY to have a pool to splash around in, and this one only cost me $350 online.
