I would cut this into two - that is what I did for my large irregular pool in MI many years ago - and use two reel covers. I would cut it at the red line - then you'll have two pieces that should roll up fairly easily. The green lines are where I would put either a reel cover with wheels or the...

Awesome! Thanks so much for voting everyone! We are in our 2nd (and Final!) home in The Villages. Our home is a courtyard villa (CYV) , meaning that it has a 5' privacy wall surrounding the back yard. Our CYV is unique in that most of the CYV's here have no room for a pool - we have a corner...

I had an L shaped pool for my first inground pool and it was the best design we ever had! It was 42' long. The deep end was the top of the L and was 18' across x 17' long. The shallow end was 25' long x 30' across. We had basketball hoops on either side of the shallow end and had a dozen...

I tried a LaMotte unit. Numbers were all over the place, and it was nearly as much work as doing it with the normal drop tests. I returned the unit.

Thank you! My wife initially didn't understand why I put the small thatch roof over it, but I said I needed it to finish the look! I built a frame out of PVC pipes, painted them brown, and then covered the underneath viewable areas with split bamboo to make it appear is if it was made of bamboo...

I got most of the bamboo material (the entire bar is bamboo to withstand the elements) from Forever Bamboo. The masks were from there as well (Tiki Masks - Hand Carved Traditional Tiki Décor - Ships Free).

Thank you so much! I have a list of neighbors that want me build him one for them now... I said no way - I'm retired now. That took close to 8 weeks of a lot of work to get done! I'm considered the "local brewery" in the neighborhood now. Going on keg 151 over the past 6 years!

Step one is to plug a laptop into the port on the router that you are using to verify that the port is working and providing an IP address. If the laptop can't connect it's something in the router. If step one works, then step two is to plug the OmniLogic cable back into the router and then...

Ooops... just re-read the instructions - it says ONE pic. I posted two - for front and back... should I delete one of them?

My feature is a Tiki Bar I built when I retired! Going on 6 years old now. I also brew beer, so there are always 3 unique brews on tap!

We have a Rural King in our area. They have 31%, and it's really cheap. My last case I bought was on sale for $5.99 a jug

If live in a climate where installing a screened enclosure over the pool is possible, this works extremely well for controlling pool heat in the summer. Screen knocks down UV rays by over 50%. Here in central Florida, my pool never gets above 90 in the summer due to my screened enclosure. The...

Just ordered mine - but where on these reagents is the expiration date listed? All of my Taylor bottles have a date clearly marked on them, but I see nothing anywhere on the bottles for these.

100% agree. If they haven't shot gunite yet, I would change it 4' - 5'. That's what we have and and it's fantastic. If I had a larger pool, I would have went 4' - 8'. Both of my earlier pools had deep ends and my kids were fish within 4-6 weeks, and then loved the deeper depth for many many...
