Oh wow, that's very interesting. I honestly never thought to look in the heater's manual. It does say "REMOTE TSTAT" on the control panel on the heater as the book says. And I see it says what you said -- set it to SPA and turn the temp all the way up and leave it. Okay, so we're getting...

Okay, that's all good information. But regardless of any of that, let me restate my actual concern: I have a setting in iAquaLink where I can adjust the temperature of the water in my pool or spa. That setting used to work fine, but now it no longer adjusts the temperature of the water in my...

Jason -- Interesting. But I would swear that back when it was working I could change it on the app and it would change the temperatures that were displayed on the heater's control panel. I'm 98% sure. As you said though, maybe my particular heater works differently with the automation system...

My iAquaLink (1.0) stopped controlling the temperature setting on my heater (Jandy LXi). I can still control everything else just fine from the iPhone app. I can switch it to Spa Mode, and I can turn the heater on and off, and those all work correctly. But when I adjust the pool or spa...

I wasn't able to be home when the guy came out to start up our pool, but a security camera captured some smile-inducing images for me. In this one he's turned on all the pumps and is testing the fountain, bubblers, and waterfalls for the first time. The camera wasn't angled to catch the entire...

Finally shut off the water at about 15 1/2 hours. It might need a little more but it was the middle of the night and I was going on 3 hours' sleep the night before. :)

The patio cover was part of our initial project last year. We expanded the patio from a 10'x10' pad to the 16'x28' stamped patio with the cover and the outdoor kitchen as it is today. As funny as it sounds, we had our concrete guy GC the whole project for us. I had gotten a bunch of quotes from...

Alright after several weather delays, and schedule challenges related to those weather delays, we finally got plaster today. They were here bright and early and dropped the hoses right at 10:00am. It is 11:45pm as I type this and I'm guessing maybe another 2 hours or so and it will be full...

Re: Another new build in Prosper, TX (updated 10/23) With the heavy rain expected for tomorrow it's nice that they got you in now rather than pushing it a few days!

I questioned the same thing when we were planning this, but I actually like how it turned out. The patio and patio cover were a preexisting project we did last year. They ended up doing about 5' in either side of that post and it looks nice when you see it in real life. Because of how wide the...

Still not done with all the walls and steps, but it's looking great so far (at least in my opinion).

The stone crew arrived yesterday and started working on building all the retaining walls and steps. They'll be here a few days finishing all that I bet. I'm really excited about this part for some reason. And also excited that we're do close to completion!

Tough to get a good pic of the whole thing, but here's one with all the decking. I need a wider angle lens on my phone!

The rain finally stopped yesterday, and today we got our deck poured! Yay!! Pics later.

No poured decking pictures yet. The town inspector failed the framing when he came by on Thursday. His comment was vague, but something to do with wanting us to prove we hadn't violated the 8' wall maintenance easement along the back. The interesting thing it that the decking is exactly the same...
