Thanks for the input, i will follow these steps.

I guess I am confused a little about the target FC levels for maintaining and shock. If my CYA is 60 (which the test is pretty imprecise), the shock FC is 24. If i get my FC to that level and leave for work, when i come back the FC is way below that. How does that affect the SLAM? Likewise, if...

We have started the TFP method and unfortunately we are SLAMing for the second time in 1 month. We had the pool nice and balanced but after a 20 kid party and a day or two dropping below the min FC, we were losing about 3 FC in the OCLT. Between the trips to Walmart buying gallons of bleach...

Was this supposed to be to me? For some reason 8corneflakes responded.

Any updates Plat?

Yes, we like it. We think it looks a lot like sand and it is very soft on the feet.

We have Luna Quartz Bermuda.

No, there is no iridescence or metallic shine to it. The tiles do have more than just flat color though. They are very rich and have many layers.

Communication was a bit spotty, but which PB isn't that way? I am quite demanding and wanted to make sure all parties were on the same page, so he was probably tired of me. There were times I got frustrated but everything was done in the end. Work has held up very well. The slab he poured for...

The patio cover is 16' x 16'. The posts and beams are pressure treated pine. I just couldn't see spending $1500 more for cedar.

Thank you!! - - - Updated - - - It has definitely been nice the past few weeks, unfortunately i am pumping more rain water out of the pool than adding water to it..... Hopefully that will change over the next few weeks. - - - Updated - - - hahaha, thanks! With this down turn in the oil...

Probably a good idea!!!!

Thank you! We really liked the idea when the PB presented the drawing, we even added a few more while the rock guys were there. SHHHHH! dont tell the PB. - - - Updated - - - Hey Espejo! Did you even have time last year to enjoy your pool? Hope all is well. I still have the river of doom out...

Thank you. No it is a standard 55" LED TV. I purchased it on sale for $400 at Walmart.com. So far it is going strong for just under a year. I figured if i get 2 years out of it, it is worth it. It will take 6 $400 tv's to equal $2500. I cover it with one of these, good quality for the price...

Thanks, we are fortunate to live on an acre in the city. We do love it but it takes a lot of work. We recently had a mosquito company come spray the backyard and it has been amazing. Two weeks ago Houston was blessed with San Diego weather and we spent every minute we could out there.
