The diagnostic codes were check salt, which checked out at 3000ppm, though it said 200ppm. And inspect cell, which I cleaned and then the reading increased to 300ppm. I did take the cell to my local pool store that tested the cell and determined that it was indeed bad. They are also a warranty...

Hi everyone. It's been over a year (16 months) since we had our pool redone and now I have a question about my chlorine generator. What is the service lifespan of these units? It's a Hayward Blue Essence salt cell for pools up to 20k gallons. Ours has been cleaned regularly following the...

We chose a design that was called mountain lake. That was over 25 years ago. Teal green was the popular tile color then. And cool deck over concrete was the deck of choice. A lot of angles. No smooth sweeping curves. Sorry about the poor image. Its a picture of an old picture... Hot tub /...

Nice! We have a screened in gazebo out in the woods and use it a lot. Just had water & power plumbed to it and installed a ceiling fan. Great place to just sit and waste time with a guitar and a few cold beers...

I love the little cabana. Plus a bathroom. Huge party plus! That could be screened in and made into a gazebo of sorts. My stuff is on the same slab that the old stuff was on when the pool was built. It's just newer stuff now. I did have to build a little doghouse to cover the pump a few...

Well it looks like little Hedwig 1 & 2 have flown the coupe... The hollow tree has been empty for a day or so. But today we saw em out back. All 4 of em. Mom, pops and the 2 kids (chicks?) They were all together. I think they were getting flying or hunting lessons. By the time I got my...

I think it's beautiful. What a fantastic little oasis.

Yeah, I was lucky to catch that. I feel so fortunate to have a yard that's like a state park, without all the tourists. 2 1/2 acres of Old Florida. It's pretty rural around here. Dirt roads and back woods country charm. And luckily it has stayed that way in spite of all the growth & sprawl...

I'm glad that you all enjoyed the owl pics. I got lucky this evening & got a great pic of momma with the twins... Must be dinner time.

This is so cool. We've noticed a pair of barred owls hanging around a lot, but as wooded as we are, it wasn't out of the ordinary. We get all kinds of critters passin' thru. Foxes, coyotes, possums, armidillos, deer, hogs, all kinds of birds and hawks, stray local cows and one alligator so...

Lets see some gazebos. We've had one for a couple of years now. We love it. We have a 12 footer, completely screened, floor included. Our electrician friend is hooking it up to power for us this weekend. Along with an outdoor ceiling fan and dimable LED lighting. Right now it has a...

I can't help on all of your questions, but there is a heaver duty screen. I think its called pet screen. I've gotten it at the local Ace hardware before. Over the years I've replaced almost all of the lower panels with this, due to dog damage. Especially the doors, they take the worst beating...

Very nice! The reward for a couple months of grief. Now some cold beer or chilled wine while enloying the hot tub this weekend and it will all have been worth it.

Re: Spring Texas, Under Construction! That pool is going to be outstanding. Very nice indeed.

Pat, Great collection and great playing, I could feel right at home at your place. I think that we must have been separated at birth...
