Interesting.........my PB told me that that excess water during closure- winter months, would find its way out through the skimmer body and the the "joint" with the adjustable upper part of the skimmer assembly which contains the clean-out lid. The upper part slides up and down to allow for...

Looks great! Enjoy !

I will be interested to see the cost differential between them. Had you considered vinyl? We are very please with our install- this is our third year. Best of luck.

Best ribs ever: Sous vide (water bath) 167° 4 hours smoke at ~170° 4hrs. excellent!

Our PB opted at his expense to pour a 4" slab to set the pavers on. Our build finished up a year ago. Style and pattern of pavers same as jimim above. They had been fighting rainy conditions and were trying to button us up. To meet spec on the paver manufacturer base it would have meant...

Where does it factor in on the "heat gain" that the heat pump is able to achieve? i.e. 60° air temp vs 75° air temp.........

Thank you all. Pool Medic you refer to paver anchors- how are they different? Also are you saying that they will be more prone to pulling out as they have been placed versus being placed at / in the joints? How so?

New build last spring. Pavers were dry set on top of cured concrete deck. Joints (minimal) were filled /swept with polymer modified sand. Cover guy comes this fall and proceeds to drill for the brass anchors in the center of the paver(s) not at the corner joints as I suggested. Several of the...
