I'm not a fan of "skeeters", but my wife might feel at home with 'em. My wife doesn't wear her wedding ring. Neither do I. She doesn't wear it because she works with harsh chemicals doing nails, and I got too damned fat for mine.
That's good advice about the pool cracking if it's left empty for too long. The pressure of the water is what stops the soil movement from cracking the concrete moreso than the actual concrete cracking as in deteriorating although it's my understanding that concrete being a porus(sp?) material would change if it were all of a sudden dried out.
