    Question for those with Phantom Cleaners. How beat up is your Phantom? Here's mine after 11 months of use. The flagstone coping really eats up that soft plastic. I really like this cleaner because it skims the surface, what I don't like is the fact that I have already spent about $80...

    Not a fan of Adsense - Google Ads

    I guess my suggestion would be to remove Adsense but if you really need the revenue to keep this site going at least limit the number of times you display them on a post.

    I remember seeing an option to upload an Avatar under my Profile but I can't find it now. Is this a supporter only feature?. Also, if I click my username on the portal where is says "Welcome RAA" I get this message:

    RAA's pool build

    This is my pool, it is the first time I go trough the process. I had a very rough time with my PB and I can tell you I would not recommend them and wouldn't deal with them ever again. They are a very large PB and my dissatisfaction resulted from several factors. Some were outside of their...
