Set up a battery operated timer on a sprinkler, or for some soaker hoses running along bond beams. We had soaker hoses running along our retaining wall tops, and they did a great job of soaking the entire wall within just a few minutes. And then a sprinkler set up in the middle of the pool to hit it all. So all it took was turning on two faucets and running them for 10 minutes or so. I would still hand water to get the crevices that didn't get watered twice daily.
It is a real pain. Couple that with when your working with probably the world's worst water hose (mine would kink up no less than 5 times a watering session), slopping through mud, and hanging my hose on rebar every 15 seconds!
Love the leuder copings. We use leuder on our pool too and really like how it turned out. Are you having a salt water pool?
Well, it has been a busy week both at work and in the backyard. The wifey changed her mind on the coping late in the process, so that put us back a little. We went from flagstone to leuders...which are apparently tough to cut and place (and create a lot of dust when cut). This process has taken 4-5 days so far, with another day or so to go.
When we were choosing pool features and colors, I looked at the leuder samples and said "meh...who would do that to their pool????"
In the showroom, it looks like junk. After seeing some examples of these materials in use, I have to admit I was wrong. That coping really looks nice.
Your stone and tile choices are fantastic. I love that leuder stone look and I love that mosaic you picked, very very pretty.
