Architectural Foresight

We got a new pool!

Instead of the hard-plastic 8-inch-tall kiddie-pool, we now have a soft-plastic, inflatable, 14-inch-tool pool for a much wider clientele, and since it's so huge, we got out an electrical (plug-in) hand-held inflation device to fill it up - kind of like a dust vac', only it blows out air rather than sucking in dirt... So I setup shop on the front porch, plugging the inflation device into an outdoor electrical outlet on the porch, and Daniel was puzzled about this, asking:

"But how did they know that we were gonna get this kind of pool?"

As I asked further questions, I realized that his query was about how the people that build our house had managed to have the foresight to realize that we were going to require an outdoor electrical outlet for this particular inflatable pool.
