    Palm Tree Germination?

    Howdy! Like many people in North Texas this year, I lost all but one of my palms due to the huge freeze we had. I had a really large nice Texas Sabal, that I don't think made it. Been hoping, but so far no signs of life. Last Summer/fall it dumped a ton of seed pods on the ground, and I just...

    Getting (re)Plastered in the morning! Freeze damage makeover...

    Ok not much of a makeover, just going a shade or two darker on plaster, a shade different on glass spotter tiles, and had some coping fixed that had started to come detached. Attached is pic with the bond coat ready for tomorrow. Not happy about spending the money, but might as well get...

    Pool Replaster....Post Freeze Damage!

    I'm south of Fort Worth, and this week when it started looking grim, I drained the pool down to below the return lines, blew air in the lines, and pulled all the drain plugs. Now in spots where there was ice, like on the tanning ledge, steps sidewalls at waterline, all the pebbles are coming...

    iAqualink 2.0 and light control?

    I have a new iAqualink 2.0 set up with 3 Jandy watercolor LED's. 2 in the pool, 1 in the spa. So far I have the software set up, and the device is connected to my network correctly. I can turn on the spa and such from my iphone. On the board, the installer for some reason installed the...

    TFP Method and a rigorous travel schedule?

    I am very interested in using the TFP method with my new pool. My concern is that I travel pretty extensively, often 3-4 days a week, every week. My wife is not so pool maintenance inclined. I see people mention using the pucks when they are going on vacation or gone for the weekend. In my...

    CrystalScapes Smooth Stone Pearl Plaster, anybody have this one?

    Trying to narrow down plaster choices. Seen the usual stuff on the CLI site, and a few pics online, but wondering if anybody actually had it?

    Started construction on our new pool outside of Fort Worth, TX last Saturday! Gunite got finished today, no small matter given the rain challenges we've had lately. It's 4' - 8' deep with a diving rock area, and spa. Will have a rock weeping wall above the opposite bench. Still finalizing...

    Is this turning into a disaster?

    Hello TFP People, I've been lurking off and on for a little while, and have learned alot from what I've read. I'm afraid my new pool is quickly turning into a disaster build. I live around the DFW area, and after interviewing several PB's, I settled on one, who was local, had been in business...
