    FOOTBALL IS BACK!!!!!!!!

    Think about the SEC Championship game in 08. Tebow single handedly beat Alabama. Fast forward to the 09 SEC Championship. Tebow was crying by halftime. Point being? A single player does not beat Saban twice. Manziel is a great player, probably the best in college football again this year but...

    Grill and vinyl fence

    Not the exact same but the back side of my house is vinyl. I at times when raining have had my grill with in 6in of my siding with no ill effects. Now this was only a few times. Repeatedly it may have an effect.

    FOOTBALL IS BACK!!!!!!!!

    Ha. I never understood why people thought Romo was so good. Seems to me like he always ######## the bed during the big games. Now he has a $110 mil deal over 6 years. Jerry's old age must be getting to him.

    New IG vinyl pool build in North AL

    Here's some updated pics. Took about 5 hours to put up. Next is the bar which we are still debating on what design to go with. I think we will end up doing a L shape with grill/ sink area, tv and fridge.

    Pentair Deck Jets

    That's how I did mine except I used 2" just because that's what I had on hand. Ran it all the way around the pool in a loop and just teed up to 3/4" where I wanted a jet. I actually ran 4 on one line.

    Should I cancel pb?

    I think that is normal. Especially if your area has had a lot of rain like we have had this summer. Ours was delayed 6 weeks and we only needed him to dig and put up walls. If he said late July early August seeing it is only August 1st I would not get to worried. I know you are anxious but if he...

I originally was going to build one from scratch but life happens and I am just way to busy to get to it. Am gonna tackle it this weekend and will post some new updated pics up. Here is...

    Outdoor music setup.

    I ended up going with the onkyo tx8050 which has interent radio and a app so I can control it while at the pool. I put the receiver in our bedroom and ran the wire through the attic to 2 tic gs3 speakers about 50 feet from the house in 2 flower beds. Also got 2 polk audio atrium 4s which will be...

    Keeping glass away from pool - what do you use for beverages

    Re: Keeping glass away from pool - what do you use for bever I have has friends spill a floating cooler full of glass bottled beers in the pool before. They just sank to the bottom but didn't bust. I am not a fan of cans either but that's what we use now. Not to bad once you get use to them...

    Pool bonding

    We installed our pool last year. I done all the electrical and bonding on ours. I think your guy is getting bonding confused with grounding. Bonding is connecting anything metal that touches the water together on a continuous loop of solid copper wire. So on my steel walled pool I started at the...

    ecostar vs intelliflow and other questions...

    I have had my ecostar for 10 months now. Not one problem. I have it paired with the aqua logic. I have no complaints from it so far. Only mad my power bill go up about $20 a month from when we had no pool. That is including the lights that are on every night also.

    Outdoor music setup.

    Excuse me if this is a dumb question. But for what I am looking to do I don't want a home theater surround sound av receiver do I? I have been looking at stereo receivers. And there are just a few in my price range that do what I need. No wonder everyone always just buys a surround sound in a...

    Outdoor music setup.

    Yes I plan on using just the app to control it. Also plan on using 12 gauge wire. I like overkill as well and have always used 12 for any audio throughout the house.

    Outdoor music setup.

    Do you control it with the app? I have read mixed reviews about the app just on the App Store but it looks like most didn't read and their receiver was not comparable.

    Outdoor music setup.

    Well that is one of my questions. Will that receiver work? The farthest run would probably be 125 feet of wire taking into account through the attic, up and down the walls, and around the concrete. I plan on using 12 gauge wire which I could probably get away with 14 but I use 12 even on my...

    A different approach to outdoor music...

    I live this set up. Do you have any pics of the inside of the cabinet, how you got power to it and you ac to dc converter. Also is that head unit powerful enough to drive those speakers ? I want 2 of the 150 watt once a with the sub. May have to add a amp in there. Thanks.

    Problem with swim out

    All of the jets feel like they have the same pressure. I will try taking them out tomorrow to see if there is something caught up in them. Thanks Jason

    Problem with swim out

    I have a cozy cove with a knob the lets air in the lines to create bubbles. Well today I noticed some water around that area and went to investigate. When my pump is at its highest setting water starts coming out of the air line. When on speed 1,2,3 it doesn't come out. This has never happened...

    Help with VS Pump Configeration

    That seems like a low gpm. I am assuming you have 1.5 " plumbing? Here is what I run with my ecostar pump on the exact pool you have 18x36 Grecian. I think ecostar is the 3hp model 3400vsp though so that will probably make a difference. 6am-11am 1100 watts 11:30am-12pm 3000 watts 1pm-5pm 1500...

    Mustard Algae or dirt/pollen

    Whether it could be dirt/pollen in that spot. We did have hard rain Friday/Sunday/Monday and the pool had plenty of dirt on the floor but this was yellow looking and in the crease of the hopper in spots. Also in the bottom corner of the shallows. It is my understanding dirt/pollen will not be...

    Mustard Algae or dirt/pollen

    Noticed today when brushing the pool these few spots. There are about 4-5 thought the deep end all in the spot where the wall goes from a 90 degree wall to a 45 in the deep end hopper. From reading pool school it sounds like mustard because it is on the wall and it says pollen/dirt will not be...

    To raise cya or not?

    It stays in the 4-5 range. Usually check around 7-7:30 at night and it is always in that range with CC at 0.
