I've had those days.

Thanks ping. I'll perform an OCLT

Thanks Jason. I understand the effects sun and activity has on FC and measurements as well as trying to be consistant on when to take the measurements. This week is an exception to my norm. Let me rephrase my question. I am not new to pools, but to SWG, so I would like so advise on...

How about adding some small beds on the edge of the decking with flowers, grasses, short shrubs or colorful ground cover. It's not the best photo, but you can see what we did on ours. Of course we do not have the nice view you have. You can see more on my build link in my sig.

I want to avoid issue before they happen so I would like some input of what to set my SWG to. This week has been difficult to check everything as I have have been leaving the house at daybreak and not getting home till dark. My FC was at 3 last Saturday and I measured it Monday night where...

Re: New Pool Build in Central Texas because of Big Green Egg It coming a long, a little slower than you like, but it will most likely pick up now. I know the bonding issue was a pain, but I would be on the inspectors side. I want to know my pool is grounded properly. It's one thing to have...

Re: New Pool Build in Central Texas because of Big Green Egg Sorry to hear all the issues you are having. Sounds like you project manager needs to be more involved and really needs to know what's going on. I always sent photos with my text.

Re: New Pool Build in Central Texas because of Big Green Egg Understand the frustration, but I believe it is their way of letting the gunite to cure.

I know it is different states, but I think that is really high. The spa, seems in line, but the pool seems about more than twice it should cost. Are they adding $3200 to upgrade from pebble fina to pebblesheen?

If it is pebble sheen it should be being done by licensed contractors and I would assume they have been through this before. If it did not pile up and dry up I would think it would be straight forward of spraying in the walls and blending it in with the bottom.

Jbox is the junction box where your pool lights will run to and join with the supplied power. There are specifications where they need to be so far away from the pool and so many inches above the water line. The PB will try to keep them as close to the pool as possible to keep the cost down due...

looks really great. landscaping and furniture really adds to it. hard to just dive in with the net on.
