) you need a floating plant in honor of the tree that used to be in your pool.
We have friends that buried theirs here in AZ. She said their ficus tree's roots kept damaging the pool so they got rid of the pool because she liked the tree more. She said her kids never went out there and were getting married so there wasn't a reason to have it. Except for them to bring their kids to Grandma's house to swim. I don't get it

good evening. I was just reading over your post and absolutely love your pool finish. I see the micro fusion laguna w/ abalone on the finest finish website. My question is how did you get glass added to the mix? Did you just ask or was that an option that your builder provided? I do the radiant fusion has glass but that's an extra grand that my builder is charging for the radiant fusion. Thanks in advance.
very nice. I'll ask my builder if they can do that for me. Is the finish pretty smooth? Any cuts or scrapes because of the finish. Thanks again for your input.
I'm curious, why have you summarily ruled out gas? I would think a gas heater would be a better option for phase II, its faster, cheaper and if you decide to heat the pool in the dead of winter.. you can. And I would think the cost comparison of the two units is pretty much a wash. Please enlighten me.
Hey MGuzzyI'm curious, why have you summarily ruled out gas?

Yeah.. that would factor big time into it. Is that whole 60ft under concrete? I've seen some pretty interesting trenchless boring done these days.. Anyway, what power company grid are you on, Roseville/Rockline Electric? I'm in Orangevale and we use SMUD for electricity and PGE for gas. All of my neighbors have swapped the heat pumps on their houses for Gas heaters because it was cheaper, I think its still the case. Most of the heat pumps I've seen installed for pools were in the hotter climes (south and southwest) where there wasn't such a big potential temp difference. But who knows, perhaps the tech has gotten better since the last time I looked into it. That is why I thought gas would be a better choice.. Hey where's @Dirk ? He lives in the Central Valley and always has a plethora of ideas.
I wish I could, I do have room for 1 more 4*12 panel on the flat roof array. Could probably add a third array on the house roof adding another 128sqf. Currently sitting at 9 panels 436sqf. We will see how it performs. Hopefully I won't need more. But it's set up to upgrade if need beThe biggest thing I see are all those other empty roof tops around you that are solar collector ready!.. just run a little pipe over there, they will never know the difference. Comon' do it
Seriously.. it looks great.. YEAH.. take advantage of the warm weather and fire that puppy up. I heard its supposed rain on Sunday.. see how warm you can get it before it rains!
I'm going to be watching to see how well it does for you. We want to add solar heat too, but I'm nervous about hastening our need for a new roof. When we finally re-roof we will probably add solar.
