I enjoyed the story.

I once put a pool in my bedroom, while at boarding school.

It was a bit smaller than yours but afterwards I though "Crikey! That was dumb!" If it had spilled out I would have been in major trouble. That and of course the weight issue -- I think I worked out that I had a couple of tonnes of water in the room. Risky...

Anyway, I enjoyed your story a lot.
