Thanks guys. Its funny how it works when you diy and it takes you a couple of years to get to this point. You don't see the changes happening until you look back at pics. I still have a ways to go, but with more advice and ideas from TFP I'll get there.

Realized this weekend that I haven't updated the thread in a long time. I still have some landscaping, lighting, tile-work, outdoor kitchen, etc., but here are the latest pics. Thanks again for all the help I received here on TFP.

Ok. I skimmed over some of the replies so sorry if I repeat anything. I am finishing up 260 lf w/ 3 gates of aluminum fencing this weekend. You can definitely do, but here are some tips. 1. You have to dig as you go, don't try to pull strings and dig all the holes first. The panels slide into...

By the way, I'd run 1" PVC, not 3/4". Waaay more water volume for not much more $.

I recently owned and operated a lscape and irrigation company and I have installed dozens of irrigation systems from 2 zones to 32 zones, although I am still probably not the most experienced on this site. I'll give you my two cents though. You need to know how many gal per min of volume you...

Yes I noticed a kit that is available from each manufacturer to vent them. The thing is, those qhalified HVAC guys are very pricey. I got a quote to install ductless AC in pool house for 5,200.00, but ended up doing myself for 1,700.00. Any ideas on a fair price for professional installation?

Another pic for your troubles....

I dont really know yet. I have NG available. I figured that would be more efficient than heat pump. I just like the water near 90 deg and it takes a while here in TN for it to get there. BTW it is a 20x40 IG a bit over 30K gallons. I wish I could do solar, but I know nothing about those. Any...

No way man. I gotta patent on that design! Jk. Thanks and good luck with re-do.

Since all my other equipment is indoors, I'd like to place my heater indoors as well. As you can see, I pre-plumbed tees for installing. I have not purchased one yet, so I don't know if it will even fit. I just hoped to get a professional opinion on the practicality,safety, etc. Does anyone have...

I used a formula based on the 2' radius with a 1" overhang gave me a 23" inside radius and a 35" outside radius due to the stones being 12" wide. Then you have to throw in the number of pieces of the pie you want to use. I'll try to dig up the formula for you later tonight. I don't want to get...

Thanks. I learned a few tricks with the pavers the hard way. So PM me if interested in a few tips. I am sure you have a plan though. Good luck and get a big bottle of ibuprofen-your back will need it on those pavers. Looking forward to the pics.

Sorry Joallen001. This is the only pic I could find on the coping. As you can see, after doing the math on the radius, I used cardboard templates to make sure on the fit before I cut the coping stones. I used modified thinset to attach to the concrete footer that I formed and poured. PM me if...

Not a whole lot of changes outside. I did get the deep-end planters finished and the sheer decents connected. They are in each corner. I will post some pics of pool house interior soon. BTW the yellow pipe in the planter is for a fire bowl and the pvc is for irrigation. Planning to keep open all...

Thanks. I do have some pics. I will post soon when I get back in town.
