If that forecast holds up, after six days of rain, your backyard might just become a pool on its own.
...nothin' wrong with a little muddy-water swimmin', no?

She did - she was having the pool work done at the same time she was having Li'l Poky wash the cars.
The timing sucks, Poky - that is too bad.

That would be correct. The rain will up the water to cement ratio of the concrete thereby making the strength of the concrete lower. Low strength concrete won't hold the water into the pool.

Haven't heard that since Army Engineer School. Of course I'm still waiting for someone to talk about the slump test.

Poky's in a slump because with all the rain in the forecast nobody will be doing a slump test on her concrete.

Isn't that what the pool liner is for?

The liner is to prevent the water from penetrating the concrete. Concrete is pourous. The pool water would leak out very slowly over time in a concrete pool without a liner, soften the earth around it and create forces on the concrete it couldn't handle. Theoretically.
