I was looking at mini split AC units for my basement and found this unlisted YouTube video from This Old House. I thought it was interesting and never heard of anyone doing this. I have no plans on it but thought I'd see if anyone has done such a thing.

These kind of things have been my fear since we put our pool in last year. We are the only pool in our neighborhood of 20 and there are lots of kids. We get along with most parents but some just don't pay attention to their kids and it makes me uncomfortable from a safety standpoint. Our next...

Ok that's what I thought you meant. I plan on adding some lighting so that would be useful. Good to know the spa settings will go away, it's annoying to have those extra buttons on the app because I always bump them. Also slightly annoying that the pool builder misses small details like the...

No Spa. I have just a VSP with a water feature and heater. I think the same board you have is what I need as a minimum. Side note - when you say "or added another outlet that could be controlled by Aqualink" what exactly do you mean by outlet?

I think I have figured it out. I apparently didn't heed @PoolGate's advice in my initial build thread. After looking over this thread and my contract, it appears I am set up for the PDA version despite having "web" access to my system. I think I need to order a new board.. just need to figure...

Hello all, Please point me in the right direction if this has been posted. It seems to be a bit tough to search for on Google. I have a relatively new pool with an iAquaLink PDA / App. It's connected to the internet and set up as far as I can tell. The thing is, I do not see anywhere to...

Thanks for the tips! Brushing will commence soon! Here are the fill pictures.

The fun has started!

10:30 AM and plaster is complete. Hose is in, trucks should be coming soon!

Hi all, Kool Deck patio was put in Monday. It's been crazy hot so I can really feel the difference between the patio and the coping. Glad I went this route - wasn't sure on the color at first but it's growing on me. Had my pre-plaster inspection last evening and plaster date is set for...

Thanks everyone! I'm going to take these ideas and plants to one of my neighbors who does landscape design and see what he can come up with for me (for the whole backyard, not just in this wall garden). I'm looking to put some trees along my fence too for some privacy. I'll hopefully be...

I'm sure I could put some stone "steps" of some sort in there without issue (especially once the township is done inspecting) - I just cant have it be a literal paver patio with the crushed stone, sand and pavers. Is that what you mean? edit: something along these lines is what I mean

Pavers indeed do. Rocks don't, generally any landscaping stuff should be fine. I'm open to ideas of what to plant/fill the wall with (except grass or mulch :oops:)!

If I could wrap the pool deck around, I would have, but I have a hard limit on the amount of patio I can build per township limits for impervious surface coverage. If I exceed it I would have to get approval and build a storm water management system which would have been upwards of $5k. I...

I haven't posted in a while, but due to landscaper delays in May I ended up cancelling their contract and doing my retaining walls myself. My patio guy should be coming out next week. Since I saved so much on my walls I decided to do stamped concrete instead of the Kool Deck. Here is a...

Here is a completed pic of the posts. Don't mind my lovely pool of mud water next to it. I also wanted to get some opinions for color of my patio. I will be doing Kool Deck, and with the color of my coping along with the current color of my deck I wanted to see what everyone thought would...

So the new posts have a 3 piece trim so they ARE a little more fancy (the bottom trim is being held up by tape until the patio is built for now). The reason they replaced the header/beam is to support the deck weight. They replaced the old one with this engineered beam that is strong enough...

Not pool work technically but part of the overall project. I am getting some of my deck posts removed to open up the area a bit since my pool is so close to the deck. I went with 8x8s with trim on the ends. They aren't done just yet but I thought I'd post a before and after to show what I'm...
