Man up here in the panhandle we've gotten 4"+ in the past day or two and it's been raining for over a week. We've had 20+ inches in less than 24 hours a couple of times in the past few years. 7 day forecast has 60% chance of rain every stinking day.

Best investment you can make in pool furniture in my opinion. Especially living near the Gulf of Mexico. Now here's your tip of the year. Yes, white does show dirt, tanning lotion, sweat .. you name it shows. Best cleaner we found that actually works? It works better than anything else we've...

I am going Oak Trees. Happens on my Travertine every spring thanks to the folks who live behind us and their crappy Oak Tree.

Yes sir it's for real. Supplier last week ran out and wasn't sure when his next shipment was to arrive :unsure:

your coping says brick or travertine. if you're going travertine what size? your drawing appears to be a 12x24 but I didn't see it listed. I'd put at least two bubblers on my sun ledge. three would match your other bubblers perfectly. make sure it's the depth you want it to be. are you putting...

hate to be the one to break it to you but prices are rising not only due to demand but cost of materials as well. pvc cost set to rise due to petro prices going up. lumber prices skyrocketing, shotcrete, steel and plaster prices are going up as well. that doesn't even count equipment prices...

The reason some are charging for design is because of the crazy demand on how many people want a pool these days. As a designer you can spend many hours, days, weeks or even months on a design. That is a lot of man hours plus the software isn't cheap and there is a annual cost. Add on top of...

well we were smart enough to at least hard pipe from the waste so I can drain it pretty fast. when draining I ran it for an hour and you couldn't tell it was doing any good because it was raining so hard. i ended up draining it three times in a 24 hour period. also we had a ton of leaves in the...

we hit 21" worth and finally it quit raining. the wind was wild and it looked like a wave pool for the past two days. glad it's over .... finally.

is it ceramic or porcelain?

that is about what we charge for installation

We'd be having one heck of meeting there pool side with the contractor if that was my pool being built.

Copper is the answer you seek!

you're gonna end up with lots of edging every week and I hate to tell you that you'll also have grass in your pool after each mowing. personally I'd make that part of my decking to give you more room to entertain if needed and push it out from the house at minimum 8'. nice design fairly close...

going to go out on a limb and say sunscreen. noticed it when we had company over swimming and noticed they were using some ultra sweat proof sun screen. they were laying on it heavy. i got some of it between my finger tips and started rubbing. it took a second but you could easily see it was a...

those Hayward gaskets on the pump basket are funky sometimes. I found if I screw those nobs too tight it can create an air bubble in my basket. I have to back them off ever so slightly. make sure the gasket is facing the correct direction as well. it can make a difference. YMMV

There are two kinds of concrete. Concrete that has already cracked and then concrete that will crack. Nothing there to worry about it.

if you're not comfortable doing it yourself then you might check with a local body shop or someone who does auto body repair on the side.

I don't understand why you'd have to scrape the paint off the deck if the paver is sitting on it? You'd never see it.

it's always the last place you look ...lol. either that or the wife moved them!!!

btw .... hey @Hayward Pool .... that electrical line is in a stupid place because it makes it almost impossible to get a wrench on it without hitting the line.

went through that yesterday myself. a big set of channel lock pliers and two guys. ended up taking off the outlet pipe from the filter after I got the other end off. we tried a strap wrench but that didn't work too well either. so I held the pipe by standing on it while my neighbor used the...

get yourself a dog. problem solved

ain't worried. we have some old Sears & Roebuck catalogs somewhere

what them folks been doing for TP for the past few years? they must be some nasty folks who never used it before to have a run like this
