So an update!
The snow was a challenge for us in Wisconsin. The structure held up well but there were a couple of very heavy snows that made me nervous and I had to push the snow off from inside. It came off in spectacular little avalanches.
We did a final clean up and I finished the plumbing connections to the filter and also the electrical to the light. We now enjoy a weatherproof outlet and switch right inside the building for things like the dolphin cleaner robot and maybe a mini fridge
I made a stupid mistake with the SWG cell connection and plumbed it backwards. The flow needs to go one way. Since I had already torn it out I had to either get a new assembly ($700), or figure something else out.
I found a method of removing glued pvc pieces. I didn't think that was possible.
Well it is. After some blow torches and hot metal pipes I managed to do it and it is all back together the right way like nothing happened.
I also had to adjust the doors to be a little more weather resistant at the edges.
We moved in some furniture. Really helps make the place feel like a real outdoor space and with the pool empty we would just sit and look up at the stars or even the rain. The temp inside is about 15 degrees above if we keep the doors shut. That has been welcome in WI this time of year.
Next post I will talk about the big fill!
