We are going through the inflatable rafts and loungers like we're going through socks over here! We have a few that have lasted a little bit longer, once we designated them as "Mommy-Only" or "Daddy-Only" rafts - NO kids allowed to touch them, look at them, or even walk by them!!! Even with...

Thank you all so much for the input!! Ok, we're buying the Dr T's Mosquito Repellent this weekend, and I look forward to trying it out. In addition to the Dr. T's, we found this online: Effective Mosquito Repellent for Outdoor Areas | Thermacell We bought the small, outdoor version...

That is awesome! I think we definitely "need" that over here!

Hey TFP Peeps! We have sporadically been enjoying our hot tub (when it's not raining, which is all the time), and we have discovered one really annoying problem: Mosquitos!!! I hate to put insect repellent on my neck and ears every time I want to get in our hot tub, but after doing quite a...

I am thankful for my Kim throughout this whole process!! I can't wait to meet you in person...hmmm...maybe that pool hopping / rotation that we were talking about? ;)

You are ALL on my good side!! I REALLY wanted the color, so I have officially decided on the aqua!! Thank you again for the opinions!! - - - Updated - - - One more thing: I need this cold weather to GO AWAY! We are chomping at the bit to get in our pool!!

Ok, we need help from our peeps! We are trying to decide between aqua and neutral for the chair cushions for the table under our arbor. What do you think...aqua or neutral? Thank you for your help!

We are trying to decide on our lounge chairs and chaises for our new pool, and I'm stuck on the fabric choices. For the chaise lounges should we get the cushions or should we be considering the Sunbrella PVC/Acrylic Sling Fabric? I've heard that the cushions are comfortable, but can be really...

This looks gorgeous!! I love the color choices, and how beautifully the water is falling! I love it!

Have to say this: I love your house! Beautiful pool, and beautiful home! We have the "brick and limestone" and we love that too! So happy for y'all! Your wife has beautiful taste!

Good job Karen! I have never heard of spraying on top of the plaster... Although I don't have a lot of experience with pool building, I agree with Kim and the other members, this sounds completely off!! I'm glad you're calling the plaster company to find out. Let us know what they say.

I love this idea Kim! We were just talking yesterday about having them help with the brushing. I'll teach them today...maybe even take a pic or two for you. ;) They would really enjoy the chemistry side of taking care of the pool. I think doing this will not only deter them from peeing in...

Absolutely gorgeous!! I love your fur-babies too! How are the dogs adjusting to the pool? I'm curious if our "water dog" (Golden Retriever) will be interested in our pool... Several of our friends that have recently put in a pool, and have Goldens, all tell us their dogs are scared of the...

Count us in! You're all welcome at our house too! I look forward to crawling and seeing all of your pools! If it helps, I make a mean, fresh salsa!

Your pool is beautiful! I love the plaster color! I'm PigIron's wife, and he's an engineer - funny how you all see things in percentages... ;)
