After LOTS of digging, my exasperated husband threw in the shovel. He couldn't find the leak, and that leaves us with holes in the ground and a rapidly declining pool. What next?

New Landscaping???
Not quite! Our pool has a leak, and Phil spent Saturday evening looking for it.

Phil, you are one manly man. Digging up sod is one of the hardest physical things I've done besides trying to chop wood. (I finally gave up and made my dad do it while I picked up the pieces for him) I know it sounds like fruitless effort, but at least you know where the leak ISN'T!!!
Clare, nice work sitting in the Bumbo and cheering on your dad. Just delay that walking, girl, cuz you'll be out there with him sooner than you know! : )
Cor, great job giving us good stories and taking fun pictures!! I'm sure there was a lot of moral support and perhaps some physical labor on your part. But really, no one would blame you if you just watched. You did your labor not too long ago. : )
Ann, I gave you several hours. Sorry.
I'm just at a time zone disadvantage...my solution to the pool problem...move to Qatar! ASD has 2 lovely pools...indoor and outdoor. Just a thought.
Kudos on your hard work Phil!
wow... how does it feel to be the man of the house? i bet you feel pretty empowered since you have 2 beautiful girls of your own. ;) God bless you Clare... You look more adorable than words can describe!
I'm having a problem with situational awareness on this one...where is this "trench" in relationship with the pool? Are you looking for underground pipes or the side/edge of the pool?
