I gave the pool guy a large piece of my mind and he came right quick. He dumped like 5 gallons of chlorine in the swamp and it cleared up after a couple of days. I just don't want the owner to nickel and dime me when it comes time to vacate. -

Udon, this is for your info too and anyone visiting Toronto during this time.
The organizers shipped all the material from China (Suzhou) and there are 30 exhibits. They flew in the workers, including the chef. The exhibits were assembled here and they look awesome.
