    I think I can, I think I can…

    Hack saw will definitely be a workout and sawzall will too when not clamped tight. Grinder was a mess but was glad I bought a HF one so I did not suck all that black dust into the air intake of my good one.

    I think I can, I think I can…

    If you are not set on a retaining block wall, I would recommend using treated 4x6 timbers, rebar, and ground cloth down first. I had a slope I needed to deal with. Once I got the blocks level, it ended up being 3 timbers high and stepped down from there. You can buy precut rebar at Home Depot...

    Solar Cover clear vs. blue & thickness

    Searching our forum and the web, I see the same thing happening to my pool. The original solar cover we had (silver and blue heavy one) lasted many many more years than the 2020 Blue 8mil one we bought which I am needing to replace because it is falling apart. Currently, I see there are...

    Waterway Cartridge Filter

    We currently have a 200 sq foot Waterway Cartridge filter on our pool. The serial number on the housing body sticker barcode is CW2-83142. So taking our filter out of the shed today, I found what I believe is a 1/4 inch "breather tube" broken off which goes from the bottom of the unit and has...
