Thank you, it was tough losing what should have been my home for many years... and seeing it go to auction at $380k less than what I had into it. Looking back, it was probably the best thing that happened to me as I am now divorced and could not afford the house on my income alone. I was the...

Wow, has it been that long :) Well, last time I saw the pool deck was mid 2009 as I lost my house to foreclosure. The deck still remained in excellent shape and no visible cracks. This was a fairly large surface area and some minor cracking where the deck met the pool bond, this could be...

Sorry, just rebuilt my signature as the details were from my last pool. This is a completely new pool to me as I just started maintaining it the last couple weeks. Have to go out and pull more details from the equipment later today. Definintely a plunge in the deep end when you don't know much...

:cry: We had a pool party on Saturday and wouldn't you know it... the poll pump died! I am now researching what type of pump to replace it and see many 'gently' used pumps for sale on craigslist or maybe re-build the motor? I am on an extremely tight budget now and must get something to get...

Jason, Thank you. This is artificial turf so I do not worry about getting grass clippings in the pool. It helps keep that summer appearance duing wintertime since the rest of the yard grass goes dormant and turns brown at that time.

I still drop by from time to time and have referred all my pool friends to TFP, but I never added my pool to the slideshow. Can you please add? I could not have built this without the help of TFP! [attachment=0:33zdauj5]College Dr House Oct 2007 006.jpg[/attachment:33zdauj5]

Bets of luck to you if you have it in writing. I do like the pebble-tec product, but would not committ to it again since they could not provide me a copy of the warranty. If they would have provided a copy like this, I would have gone with pebble-tec, unfortunately Ms. Hunt did not provide...

Hi there - please get it in writing from pebble-tec! Maybe your installer provides a lifetime warranty, but that means your installer must remain in business. This is the email response I received from Pebble-Tec in July, when I inquired about their product. They backed the product in the...

Hi Matt - Feel free to share pics...I for one love viewing the pool builds on this site. Provided me inspiration and good vibes as I built mine.

Welcome to TFP. Can't wait to see the progress of your pool. Sounds like you are staring at a great time of the year. We ended up with our owner builder construction during the summer season this year.

TD Ameritrade suffers database breach Just an FYI for those that have an account with Ameritrade: http://money.cnn.com/2007/09/14/news/co ... 2007091411 TD Ameritrade suffers database breach Brokerage says hackers stole contact info for over 6.3 million customers, but that more sensitive info...

we plan to stay in our new house for at least 7-10 years, so we went with a higher end exposed agregate finsih called Beadcrete. We are so far very happy with the product, not the installation. Our last pool was Pebble-Tec and we loved that as well. Even though we did not stay in last house...

I am a newbie to hockey and admit I have never watched more than a few minutes of a game on TV, I have never been into team sports...especially on TV. We have the new Coyotes arena in Glendale, AZ (now Jobing.com arena) about 20 min from my house and I am interested in going to a game...two...

Jason -Thank you for taking the time to write a robust and thorough review!
