Thrifty Thursday


  Well we got ourselves one of those easy set pools last summer and we didn't get it put away like we planned and it ended up sitting outside over winter.  Well we started setting it up and we noticed it had a couple of holes in it.  We tried the patch kit that came with it but the sealing stuff was dried out and wouldn't stick right. 
  Well my son had been watching "MythBusters" on tv the one evening, the episode where they were on an isolated island and had to survive with what was there and a pretty good size supply of "Duct Tape".  They actually made a boat out of it and it worked.  Well that gave us the bright idea to try it on the pool and it has been holding up well now for 4 days with no leaking.  We made sure we got the blue duct tape so it would blend in with the bottom better. 
  We would recommend only using it on the bottom, it probably will not hold well on the sides.  I will update you all later on how this holds up over the course of the summer.
