    Large Flower Pot Supplier

    Preferably ceramic/cast/etc. Not sure what I'm gonna do yet. I was at home goods the other day and they had some cool ceramic ones and the color just about matched my pool tile, so that might end up being a cool look. I'm thinking having something that big shipped, when you add in the...

    Large Flower Pot Supplier

    Anybody have a good supplier that ships quality large outdoor planters? I'm talking 3' tall, no plastic stuff, and somebody that ships. I've hit about 10 different landscape places and what they have isn't really my flavor. If you have anything you've owned that has held up more than a few...

    Copper pipe for gas line 1' underground.

    Well, it isn't going in the slab of concrete. It will be buried 1' below the slab. I already have the trench dug, and tomorrow I plan on taking the ole' Hilti and buzzing through the basement wall. Is the yellow poly stuff any good underground? My plumbing supplier for work sells it in rolls.

    What is scratchcoat?

    Thanks fellas, I'm going to waterblast my old marcite and then have it re-plastered as long as I have the pool empty. It's a 40yr old gunite pool. Just finished tile today. I guess bondkote seems to be the answer, as I'm going over old marcite. I have used the Hilti to go over the old...
