He does a great job on keeping my pool clean, but it’s obvious my pool guy doesn’t give a shit about my yard or driveway. He cleaned the filters today….all over my driveway and roses adjacent to the driveway. It wouldn’t bother me so much other than the fact that the residue from the filters is white when it dries and my driveway is black as is the dirt surrounding the roses. It just looks nasty.

I didn’t notice all this when I got home. Since it was nice weather (and since there wasn’t a Lakers game tonight), I decided to fertilize the roses and had planned to put mulch on them as well. Then I noticed a white powdery surface surrounding them. We’re supposed to cut back on water usage and not spray down our driveways, but I just couldn’t leave all that crud lying there. And the rules don’t *officially* go into effect until July 1st. So I cleaned up the rose beds, fed the roses and hosed down everything.

I need to have words with this pool guy and let him know that hose reaches down to the curb where I don’t mind seeing all the white stuff.
