All, our Hayward 400K BTU heater sits under the house soffit, I have soffit vents all along the underside for almost the whole length of the house. Last weekend with little to zero wind when I cranked up the heater our interior smelled like heater exhaust gasses (entered through vents). Now...

Okay, So April 2019 we had Fiberglass Inground installed and love the pool, recently we have had older family member use the pool and they are having issues getting in and out without a grab rail. I know the pool is bonded as I watched and made sure of that. Well I need to add a grab rail and I...

Okay, I have a built in Spa/Hot Tub in our pool. I am looking at covers and was wondering if anyone has built or purchased a square insulated cover so I can keep the spa relatively warm. I know it is not perfect however if I could keep the spa water temps from dropping off severely it would take...

All, I needed to clean my 4 month old SWG, so after a couple YouTube Videos I knocked it out in 30 mins. Just an FYI for you all make sure to have your tools on hand before you start. Get a SWG stand so you can actually clean it. I have a strap wrench so that made removing fittings a...

Howdy all, Last month my Hayward filter developed a small split in the seem and I tried to fix it however it did not hold. So I ordered a knockoff Blue Devil B8318 Sand Filter 19" When setting up the new one, i reused all the existing sand I could and I think i might have used a...

Ok, I'm not looking for year round, just would like an extra month or so each side of the season. Here are my thoughts, questions and concerns. 5500 gallon AGP, would like temp to stay at 84-86, currently dropping due to cooler nights, yet hovering around 82 now and slipping. So you can see...

All, If you are local to Houston, I have a extra Liquidator with almost all the fittings that is free to a good home! Here is the rub though, it has a pinhole leak in it, the MFG sent me a new unit and told me I can discard this one. I am betting a heated flat head screw driver will seal the...

All, I found a GAME brand pool light at my local pool store, it was a tad higher than what I think it should cost ($29.00), however I did buy it and it does put off a good amount of light. It has a magnet in the body for steel sided pools and a piece of powder coated steel for soft sided...

I have been asked about the "White" box, it is a gravity feed upright smoker that I built from scratch. I run lump charcoal that produces a very clean smoked product. The lump feeds via gravity so I can start my coals, dump them fill my chute and smoke for over 24 hours. It is ran by a small...

Well some of you all have seen the images I posted a few weeks back of the build. I just wanted to show off the Pergola and outdoor kitchen plus our AGP a little more. Pool is only 12'x18'x52" however it just about perfect for up to 4 adults, the deck is 12'x8'x50"! We had some new cement...

Howdy, Jtburf here from the Lone Star State, our first pool was installed Saturday 6/6/15. Not the largest in the world, however for the boss lady and myself it should scratch our itch for several years to come. Our deck should be installed Tuesday of this week, floated all day Sunday and...
