No, it will all be poured at the same time. The addition is a large curved area, so I figured maybe the forms are a little harder to make. I think the main factor is that construction labor is at a premium in the New Orleans area due to the rebuilding from Katrina. Thanks for the comment.

I am having an extra 112 sq/ft of decking poured that will be spray deck with a two-tone color. I was quoted $868 which is $7.75 per sq/ft. Does this sound reasonable? TIA

Congrats on the new build. Looks good.

Wow!! So that is what snow looks like. :)

Dittos on the great newsletter! Thanks for including my TOP 10 contribution.

The Jandy website has some metal ones.

Soil in Louisiana is a mix of sand and big chunks of clay. This back fill was walked in to compact it. It is impossible to fill all of the voids created by clay by compacting so water is needed to wash dirt around the voids. Crushed rock isn't used because we have none in the area so it is very...

For those of you who wonder if pouring the decking immediately is a good idea, I offer this photo of my build. The backfill was done two weeks ago. The original level of the dirt was just above the coping. The dirt settled this much after only one rain event. Now I know why my PB wants to wait 6...

$900 for cutting down and removing three big trees is a steal. Welcome to the forum.

You may want to consider just adding a light at the end. Keep the current one. That way there is no hole to fill. Put the two lights on separate switches.

Very nice!

Very nice!

Wow, F500, that looks pretty good.

More pics.

I go out of town come home to this! Good thing my wife snapped a few pics. Pool is a simple 12x24; just for the two of us. Check out the extra dirt I have! Man is my back going to ache after spreading that around the house.

Wow! That is great looking.

Welcome!

Pg 10 of the manual found below has the chemistry specs for the LM2. http://www.clearwater-usa.com/pdf/LM_du ... 112002.pdf

Thanks for the help. I have contacted my lender for the pool and they are taking care of everything.

Too much eggnog at the poolside Christmas party Because it will probably be 80 degrees in Louisiana To test out that new wetsuit I got for Christmas

My wife who used to work for a home improvement company asked our PB about lien waivers. They had never heard of them (or proclaimed not to). We would like to get them from the PB as the job progresses, but we do not have access to any generic FREE forms. Does anyone have one?

Mark, thanks for the quick reply. I forgot to mention that I will also have four deck jets. My pump will be 1.5hp, so I am hoping I have enough ooomph for everything: 1 skimmer and 2 pool returns.

I am thinking of having my PB install an extra line for a future pool feature similar to the one below. Can this line be plumbed into the source for the normal returns, or does it need a dedicated booster pump? Can I use the booster pump for the vacuum system?
