I used to be a diver at the NBL :mrgreen: It's more impressive than pictures show, and met some pretty cool people while there.

:goodjob: Very impressive!

Love the coping! Is that the Oklahoma Flagstone stuff?

Wow $3000 for new plaster? Maybe your market is different than mine and your pool might be different, but that sounds high. Definately shop around. Try going straight to the plaster companies rather than through a pool guy/store. That made a diffeerence of 700-1000 in our bids. Best number we...

I just went through this whole drain cover retrofit thing. See this thread..... http://www.troublefreepool.com/need-to-replace-broken-floor-drain-cover-update-replaced-t20203.html Your drain is a bit different than mine; Yours=A bucket like resevoir, Mine=a dug out resevoiur that was plastered...

There are several reasons I married my wife. One of which is that her tool box is bigger than mine 8-) The brown spots are stains from acorns and leaves that sat on the bottom while the pool was down.

What a weekend.... I picked up my PVC on Friday and it was on! I started draining the pool Saturday morning, the spare pool pump couldn't handle the load when the water level got way down. I had to get a trash pump to finish the job (should used the trash pump to begin with). Used a wet dry...

Re: Need to replace broken Floor Drain Cover Grainger Rocks!! Friday I will have a 12"X12", 3/8" inch thick sheet of PVC. It will be grey, so what! For just $18.86. Will cut outside diameter to 9-1/4" and inside diameter to 7-1/8", the middle will be dropped out. I plan to glue that to the...

Re: Need to replace broken Floor Drain Cover I could and would if the Oatey glue made for use with pools/wet environment will work with lexan or plexiglass. I need something that will adhere what ever material i use to the drain sump, which is PVC. I am also looking into cutting board material...

Re: Need to replace broken Floor Drain Cover Yes I know about the VGB Act of 2008. I have no problems with using a compliant cover. That is, if I can get one that will work with our drain. Again, I have looked at the Drainsafe site and they have what they call a Mud Ring". Basically a ring...

Re: Need to replacement broken Floor Drain Cover Kingwood :party:

My floor drain cover got stepped on and broke into several pieces and needs to be replaced. The rub....I can't seem to find a replacement. It is an old American Products 9-1/4" round cover (model#871013). I know American Products is not around anymore, but someone HAS to make a replacement or...

Thanks for the responses. The Skimmer and Drain were 2 things that we are going to leave to the pros. If we can find a cover that will work, then I will definately go that route. I took the pieces to the pool shop and they could n't find anything for what I have. As for the skimmer, I have no...

We struggled to keep the pool up towards the end of last summer and now it's time to deal with the problem at hand. I have posted pics and problems we were having with the pool here at TFP before, but that was so last year. To-Do List: - Unclog suction line - Borrowed a friends roto-rooter and...

I guess I knew that it would cost a few extra bucks, but it's been a while and I forgot...... I was cruising through the howibuiltmyswimmingpool.com page and started getting the "you need a premium access account". Crud-ola! So I was just wondering, does anyone here have the premium access? Is...
