I'll give it a try and report back. Thanks again guys!

We have one of those tall cylinders that you stack the cl pucks into and adjust the water flow thru it manually. I checked the puck holder and it is empty. For how long I am not sure.

from the aqua check 7 by hach i got these numbers. total hardness=250ppm total cl=3ppm total bromine=5 free cl=3ppm ph=less than 6.2 total alkalinity=0ppm cyanuric acid=0ppm from the hth 3-way test kit. cl=1ppm br=2 ph=below chart

I took a sample of water to Leslie's Pool Supply today and the owner of the store told me that the water is horribly acidic. She is usually the one to push products on people to the point of almost aggrivation, and told me today that buying anything for this water is a waste. She recommended the...

i agree

this happened about 2 months ago and has been cleaned up. im waiting on the check from them to buy material so i can fix the fence and my roof.

well here it is now. taking my time huh?

well it happened as i figured it would. at least it got the next door owner to take down the two problem trees. nobody got hurt and now i have some roof and fence work to do. lol.

idea abandoned. just not the right way to treat a palapa. lol

its been some work, but its gettin better. were havin rainstorms now and i can pretty much watch the freshly seeded bermuda grass grow in the back planter! i also decided to take the pool fence that runs to the back wall down and move it to extend over to the side wall so the palapa that is...

this stuff removes ANYTHING. asphalt, tar, bugs, oil, grease, on and on. and its biodegradable and smells good. cleans my driveway beautifully.

when i first moved in, the pool was green, the yard was foxtails, and porch was peeling blue paint. no good! i dont have before pics but this is where i have gotten so far. the pics are in order from oldest till now. and here is one of our jacuzzi and pool at night. not sure why the pool...

always good times!

i pulled a gopher out the other day. that tripped on the panic button until we determined there was no holes in the pool!

yeah, whats with that? were suppose to be the kings of summer heat! im gonna blame this one on Gorbachev. lol.

i just tore down a weathered old gazebo covering a jacuzzi for a customer and it had a square cap smoke tinted skylight on it thats still in good condition. it's ~4'x4'. i am preparing to build a palapa for my backyard that will be 16' diameter wide, 11' tall in the center, and 8' or 9' high on...

the kids had a bit to much sugar food the other day and had been in the pool till they darn near raisined up. even after the pool time they were on the go so i looked around and came up with this idea. a 5 gallon bucket, 12 foosballs, and four foam noodles and bingo! a game that took they're...

gotta love the queens!

for the lizard about 3.5 hrs.

i appreciate all your help and will be contacting the owner soon (work has been chaotic).

ok. in the first pic, the queen palm frawns on the bottom are ~8'-9'. call me chicken, but im not climbing out on those branches with a chainsaw! and a saw on a pole is not much help. all in all, cutting the branches back isnt going to solve my issue of the danger and the mess. that would only...

i have no problem cutting the tree back on my own since that is allowed in california if it is over the fence line. problem is that its a monster of a tree and im not climbing out on the branches and risking my life or the chance of property damage. here's a few pics to show you what i have...

gonna do a chipmunk next for my mom.

well, i changed the last to this. for the color i went with sedona red for the main, natural on the eyes, and provicial for the edges to make it look shadowed. im contemplating making a couple more of these lizards to sell. let me know if any of you might have any interest in this.

im figuring that if he blows me off on the phone call i'll have to go with small claims court. i hope it does'nt go there though. i prefer to do things nicely to keep life enjoyable.

i contacted code enforcment and they will only deal with front yard appearance or public sidewalk/street issues. and the city counsel is a joke and wont help (even though i drive a tow truck and help them all the time). sorry if i sound negative, ive had a couple rum/dr.p's and want to swim,but...

all good on short post. neighbors are all for any tree trimming. i would trim to property line other than that would result in massive damage to my property. the branches are long as heck and the best i could safely crawl out to cut off would still result in a 25' branch coming down with me...

i just bought my house less than a year ago and we are doin the best we can to get it fixed up. first things first, the pool was brought back to life, and then the backyard is now gettin our focus on top of other stuff. the problem i have going is the neighbor to my left has 2 (two) HUGE...

used power poles work too for the main post and you can usually find one laying somewhere. sand it, put a sealer on it and build off it. not very oem but works for us financially challenged diy'ers.

thanks. next one will be burned and stained. why not go for the gold huh?
