    Which liner? 2 options. Pleas help me choose

    It's raining again. Time for another cold front to come through. Glad for the argument against global warming but I'm itching to mow the yard or go outside without seeing my breath!

    Payday is Friday...ordering eBay liner and solar cover. Now if only the weather would cooperate. Last year we were opening the pool by now, but because of the polar vortex I have ice outside! In Louisiana that's nuts!

    Review of my Pool Rover Jr.-BIG thumbs up.

    I too love this product. Put it in Saturday morning before the kids are ready to swim and another hour later it's done. My only problem is I need to replace the debris bag. They seem a little expensive. I've seen them for about $40. Has anyone found them cheaper?

    I had looked at a few sites but really like the site you mentioned. Not that expensive and will be much better than trying to pump hot water out of my home hot water heater into the pool!

    Thank you. Solar cover worth the money? Despite living in Louisiana, my pool spends most of the morning in the shade. Usually it's too cold to swim until 3 or 4 in the afternoon. I just need to raise it a few degrees so the kids are comfortable in it.

    I don't want to skimp on it. Just trying to not overspend. I also need a solar cover this year. Combine that with installation of liner and liner price and my pool budget is blown!

    Got a Smoker! Now what to cook!

    Thanks! It was a fun game! We did some ribs and sausage. I think I had it a little too hot in the beginning but will get the hang of it soon. Problem is that my smoker doesnt have a temp gauge. Thinking of trying to retrofit one in the lid.

    Evaporation

    Well with our humidity, I may actually gain water lol. But I usually turn the hose on once a week for about 15-20 mins and I'm back to normal. So probably 1/4" loss everyday. Not too bad at all really.

    how do i hard plumb my agp intex 18' x 52"??

    I basically clamped a carpenters square to the pipe. Drew a line down it with a sharpie. Then I used a clamp on the pipe and kind of stabilized it on my table. Then I just started drilling holes along the line. I just spaced them apart how I felt they should be. see this pic below, maybe it...

    San Diego In Ground Pool Build w/ Pictures

    That makes sense. I was just being nosey but I like your thought process. Why send the kids to other peoples homes when you can keep them at home and out of trouble! Looking really good.

    New build North Fort Worth!

    Looks awesome. Curious to see if its normal how they did the hose bib attachment. Looks like a homemade sprinkler system I made here lol. But I'm sure it serves the purpose.
