I bought some vitamin C today and held some of the tablets against a few spots as well as rubbed some tablets on the spots. No changes to the spots. I did notice some of the spots seem to be in very slightly pitted areas. What should I do next?

I will certainly try that. I would jump in now if I had a vitamin C tab and it was not rumbling in the sky overhead. I considered trying this and even had a bottle of vitamin C in my hand two weeks ago but I don't know where the iron would come from. I only use my city water to fill and...

First off the numbers. I test chlorine/PH every couple days to see when the next cup of acid needs to go in. I test the water monthly with my kit and visit the pool store every weekend or two. These are the numbers from today. They are very close to what I usually have. The only number that has...

Thanks! We have continued to work on our backyard paradise. The dirt is now sodded and it has grown in very nicely and looks like it has been there for years. We have planted flowers in the three planters we had built-in. We have also added some Talavera pottery around the pool. Sound system is...

New pool build in Viera, FL. Pools done!! We still need to get some sod down and landscaping but the pool is complete and has been in use since last Friday.

it has been awhile since I added any photos. Today was plaster day. Tomorrow is start-up day and we are very excited.

Here is what I am doing. I am almost done with the final install of the full system. My deck is 36’ x 36’ facing North from the house with a free form pool in the middle. The southeast corner is a 12 x 14 covered patio. My yard is fenced in with a 6’ shadowbox fence that is 3’ from the west...

The 300 feet of 12 gauge wire came in this week from monoprice and it was a beautiful day down here in central east Florida. The builder has mostly formed the deck so I decided to lay everything out and see how it sounded. My PVC conduit I cut and glued in the garage was within inches of where I...

I have two pygmy date palms in my sideyard and the thorns are vicious. I have stuck myself a few times while carefully trying to get some weeds that were growing under them. I could not imagine the pain of falling into one.

I was surprised but they said they always do it that way. The initial backfill was pretty thorough with water jets soaking the ground followed by a compacting machine the next day. Then they dug just deep enough for the plumbing. This way the plumbing lays on compacted earth and does not settle...

Not much happened last week for picture taking. They backfilled, dug it up again for the plumbing, and filled it back. Today they started on the tiles and it finally has some color instead of a big concrete bowl. We might have a deck by the end of the week if they can get the survey and...

I have all the pieces and decided to hook it all up last night. It was a HP netbook, Syba USB soundcard with spdif output, Onkyo HTR-530, Outdoor Speaker Depot 1 set of AP520s and 3 sets of RX540. I have a volume control but did not use it. I wired it series / parallel using 16 gauge wire that...

Speakers are from outdoor speaker depot. 3 pairs of RX540 rock speakers, 2 each on west, north, and east side. 1 pair of AP520 which will hang from the eaves of our house. I hope it sounds good. I'll know by the end of the week.

I read quite a bit about raspberry pi and it may be a future project of mine. I've pretty much finalized my pool's sound system. I have an HP Mini Netbook that was not really being used. 140GB of space available and can be expanded with flash memory or external hard drives. It will output...
