    Chlorine and Cat Pee?

    I put some chlothes over my wet swim suit on the weekend and later left these same clothes on the floor in the bedroom. I discovered this morning that our cat peed on and near that area. :shock: She's never peed anywhere outside her litter box before. I did some reading on the internet that...

    I just remembered that our installer said that ladders should not be placed on along the side of an oval....he said it was the weak part of the pool. The new deck runs parallel to the long side of the pool. I'm planning on getting a ladder to attach to the deck (or steps) and really didn't...

    New Deck Coming Soon!

    Hi There, I've gained so much in knowledge and ideas by reviewing this site, I thought I should stop lurking. We purchased this house in 2007 with a boring backyard. Installed the pool in 2007. Now it's time to work on the rest. Hoping that DH likes the ABG pool more with a two level deck...
