My one major screw-up in the "big operation" this year (so far, anyway) was in not starting the process of topping up the water level early enough. I didn't think of it until after 8:00 last night, and so it got a couple of hours of water before we went to bed, and then was started again around 7:00 this morning when I first woke up (before going back to bed). By the time we were ready to prime the pump and get everything running - around 1:00 this afternoon - the water level wasn't yet high enough to provide a steady enough supply to the pump. And so we did other things for an hour, to let it rise some more. That wouldn't have been too bad, except that we're heading out to a BBQ around 4:00 p.m. and wanted to have it all finished by then. Note to future self: make sure you remember to start adding water early the day before the opening!
As of right now (almost 3:00), we've got the pump and heater both running, but haven't added any chemicals or vacuumed the accumulated worms and leaves out of the pool yet. As such, I suspect that we'll be at it for a while again tomorrow morning...

If you need some quality control testers, I'm sure your new product development team members would all like to try their hand at some QA work.
