    Lifeproof phone cases

    PVC Privacy fence lighting

    I was looking at lights for my PVC fence. The wiring actually runs through the top rail so it is hidden. Does anyone have any experience with these or other styles? http://micris.com/Micris_Lighting_Systems/Home.html

    New guy from Michigan

    I everyone, I found this site after searching for our new pool and so far I have learned a lot! We currently have an old 16x24 doughboy that is in rough shape and ready for replacement. I have looked at everything from new above grounds to fiberglass in grounds. Due to cost I'm sure I will end...
