We love our robot lawnmower! It is great, I highly recommend it. You run it frequently and it keeps your grass healthy because it only cuts off a tiny piece of grass each time, instead of mowing every week or 2 and taking off a much larger percentage of each blade of grass each time that you...

Sorry for the delay! Here is the video of the first ride down the slide, into the very cold 63 degree water (not that he cared). I have gotten the SWCG up and running and definitely appreciate the luxury it provides. Still figuring out the rest of the pool chemicals and balancing, but...

In Austin. We signed our contract June 11, 2020. They said it would be done October 2020. Finally filled with water April 2021. Essentially zero progress on punchlist since plaster.

Thanks! We are happy with how it turned out. One added benefit that we didn't think of at the time is that the slide enclosure is good at blocking wind as well. The soffit light on the house are Gemstone Lights (Gemstone Lights: A Smart Exterior Lighting Solution | Outdoor LED Lights). We have...

Time lapse video of the entire pool build: It came out to about 10 minutes long, so you might want to adjust the playback speed faster if that is too long!

Haven't posted in a little while, have had a lot going on. PB is still pretty much worthless, haven't gotten a response from him in about 2 weeks now. Glad I withheld some money in case I need to hire someone else to finish up the loose ends of the project. I finished pool school this last...

So water finished filling at 6AM this morning (Thursday). PB said startup won't be until Monday or Tuesday (i.e., no one looking at the chemicals for 5-6 days from after fill). Anything I should be worried about with this? Seems like a long time to let the chemicals go unchecked based on what...

Thanks! PB literally texted me "IDK when startup will happen." Oof. I had another exciting problem at 9PM tonight. He still needs to finish connecting my main filter pump, but said the plumber would do it today or tomorrow (and he didn't come today). Part of what the plumber needs to do...

Thank you! Blue Surf Pebble Sheen.

Thank you. Your assumption is pretty much correct. There are 4 wall inlets there, which feed 2 separate pumps. They plumbed them just like a main drain on the bottom of the pool where they have to two inlets per suction line for anti-entrapment. So 2 of the inlets feed 1 pump which is used for...

Thanks!

I don't have any recommendations for you, but we just used glass tile with Blue Surf Pebble Sheen and it seems to stand out plenty. This picture has a lot of reflection making it harder to see, but in person it definitely stands out.

Gotcha. Thanks for the advice!

Thank you! It has been very frustrating, but seeing water go into it definitely is satisfying! Just need to get through with this PB and then enjoy!

So PB said he doesn't know when startup will be... In the mean time, once the pool is full of water, is it a good idea to get the pumps running to keep the water stirred up and start filtering out the plaster dust? Does anyone know if I can power on the pumps and control them manually from...
