My first swimming pool was a hole dad dug in the back yard. It was about 2 ft deep and a good 6-7 ft in diamiter *biiiig hole lol* We couldn't aford a pool really so dad dug it out for us and the dogs to play in. The next year we "Upgraded" and put a plastic tarp down in the hole as a lining .

We had a huge porch we hosed off and swept...the dogs hung out there and made the place dirty as all get out. The porch was big enough to where the dogs could sleep under it and we put straw and blankets down there for em, it was like a den!

Mom always fed *and still does* the local quail chicken feed...does that count for the feeding chickens one lol?
I loved the swimming pool "upgrade"..That's sounds like something my dad would do...

Yes, Southern Houses were always built on brick blocks and no telling what you would find living under there.

Yep that counts...
