anyone know a good, honest, high quality custom builder in the Leander, Cedar Park, Austin area?

you can still attach another section of trellis to the decking rather easily (brackets & concrete anchors). custom build a planter along that run. then you could plant more vines, and some lower growing plants under them. you can stain or paint the planter to add an extra splash of color. just...

old or new really makes no difference. it is just the size of the meters supply. our brand new house as of february had to have a larger meter installed to support all of the appliances and the pool heater. they do it for free here. i would be a little upset if i had to pay them for install...

you need a new, larger one to supply the volume of gas needed to run several of the items you listed at once. if you were only running your pool heater, you might have a large enough supply through your current meter. but when you start cooking dinner on your gas stove, doing dishes with h2o...

well, here in the austin area, local stone suppliers are not supporting the use of flagstone or any natural porous rock with SWCG systems. they actually are posting disclaimers as to their not refunding, providing warranty on materials or labor etc. on the use of those materials with SWCG...

thanks to all. yes, there are plenty of deer and wild turkey here. some would argue to many, but we enjoy them. can't wait for the rest of the landscape to be done. the irrigation system was finished off today. next come grading the back for drainage, grass, then flower beds along the large rock...

that is a double sided gas log fireplace. but, yes the grill is going over on that patio. when the house was built, gas was run for the grill to that spot. thanks for the compliments. the pool design and materials were chosen by me. it's easy when your spending someone elses money! my dad just...

here are few pics of my dad's pool and spa completed a month or so ago. nice and private. feels like our own little resort. my duaghter loves it! still have to finish the landscaping in the backyard. house sits on nearly an 1.5 acres, so the neighbors aren't too close. we had some mosaic turtles...

well, i wound up taking the jet apart myself. there was a rock in there blocking flow. the contractor is really losing steam now that the job is almost complete. getting him to come back for anything is a real task now. he still has a few things to complete before final payment though. as they...

i'll try blocking the other jets. i guess if it works while the others are covered , then it isn't clogged or partially blocked with something.

definitely not a shadowing effect. it can be seen out of the water and while underwater. i'll try to get a pic of it today.

we have a new pool and spa. the spa has 6 jets. one of the jets barely blows any water or air. the builder says this is refered to as a ******* jet. says that it is the last jet in line and therefore blows less. just seems that when in spa mode and everything is being pumped back into the spa it...
