He spent hours in the hot sun preparing the ground and laying out the parts. The instruction manual said “Estimated assembly time 30-60 minutes. (Note: the assembly time is only approximate and individual assembly experience may vary.)” Keeping our thoughts focused on the finished product, we were excited to see the standing pool; four hours later. I watched with enthusiasm as the water from the garden hose began to fill the pool. I could picture relaxing on my float, sipping tea!
