Texas Family's 1983 Pool Disaster: Battle Against Frogs and Snakes

Pool Installation and Initial Problems

• 🎯 The Willingham family in Denton, Texas, had a pool installed in 1981 for a four-generation Fourth of July picnic.
• ⚠️ Shortly after installation, the pool began to sink, and its sides buckled, making it impossible to keep clean.

The Frog Infestation

• 🐸 A load of sand brought to fill cracks in the pool was filled with frog eggs, leading to millions of tadpoles hatching.
• 💧 The family spent two years continuously dipping out tadpoles from the pool.

Additional Wildlife Encounters

• 🐍 Snakes, including a copperhead and a water moccasin, also became inhabitants of the pool area.
• 🐾 The family found dead snakes on the deck, possibly killed by their dogs.

Legal Battles and Desired Resolution

• ⚖️ The Willinghams have been in legal disputes with the pool company for two years, involving suits and counter-suits.
• 🏡 Their primary desire is to have the faulty pool removed to install a new one they can actually use for swimming.
