So I'm opening up the pool 2wks ago and after giving everything the once over I notice that I'm not getting any pressure out of our 3 deck jets. See picture below: The 3 jets are along the right-hand side of the picture. The pool equipment is mount at the far end of the house just out of...

Very nice! And thanks for the builder info.

If you don't mind my asking, who did your fireplace. This spring I was planning to build a custom built-in grill and I'm still shopping modular outdoor fireplace kits. Your setup looks very similar to what I had in mind. The flagstone(?) on the fireplace looks great!

Welcome to the forum ahfolife! I'm also in the Nashville area, Murfreesboro to be more specific. I'm not much on endorsements or anything like that but I was more than satisfied with my particular builder. Unfortunately I don't think you'll have much success building a pool period for under...

That quote sounds about right for this area. I'm also a M'boro resident and we completed our pool 2yrs ago. I don't think we ever got a quote from Brads but we did 3 or 4 of the most prominent outfits. In the end we went with Hunt over off Thompson Lane. I've got a pool build thread titled...

Guess I'm gonna have to do some test spots just to be on the safe side. Had the weather been more cooperative last night I would've tried the Mr Clean Magic Eraser. My original thought was some sort of polish/buffing compound. There seemed to be two distinct types on Amazon; one set for...

Title pretty much says it all. What's the preferred cleaner for polishing stainless handrails & ladders? We had our pool built last year and after opening this spring there are some rust colored stains along the water line and what appear to be white colored water or salt spots above the...

Ksnewman, I love your fireplace. We built our pool last year and we're looking to add something very similar to our pavillion. (See my Construction thread: Nashville Suburbs) Something like your fireplace but on a slightly reduced scale would go nicely with our planned outdoor kitchen...

Unless your yard is the size Texas or you simply like rock concert type volume levels I think you might be overthinking things. I have a 36'x18' pool arranged side-to-side as viewed from back steps of the house. To one side of the pool there's a 12'x16' covered pavilion. I purchased a 10yr old...

Cool. Now that I've confirmed I'll be safe. I'm patiently awaiting an invite. :wave:

Beautiful location but being an engineer and realizing that this is in the Bahamas; Do you have any storm surge concerns? Seems like even a Cat1 or 2 Hurricane would send waves of sea water up and into the pool?

Re: New pool build in San Jose, CA (with bid) Quite honestly, for what you're spending it shouldn't cost a dime more. Our vinyl pool was originally spec'd for 3.5' and 6' respectively. We decided a day or 2 before the dig that we wanted the depth increased to 4' and 7' and our PB made it...

Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures but it looked every bit as good as the turkeys you see in magazines. Very even golden color. Which is surprising given there's no temperature adjustments required. We did a pair of ~6lb chickens a week or so after Thanksgiving and they turned out just...

I just cooked my first fried turkey today with a cheap Charbroil "oil-less fryer." I brined the 15lb bird for ~18hrs, shoved a few sprigs of rosemary from the garden up it's backside, and dropped it in the fryer basket. Two and a half hours later, deliciousness happened. :stirpot: Who knew...

Great build thread you've got going! A couple of comments; We installed a new pool last winter and also went with Cardinal's Oasis design albiet the slightly smaller 36' model. We love it! Ours only goes to 7' on the deep end but that's more than enough for cannon balls. We get lots of...
