My PAL 2D-60 has died for the second time. What a waste of $. PAL should be embarrassed they can’t make a simple LED driver. Any good options? I just have two lights.

From what you have said, there isn't much else that can be done to compact it. A plate compactor won't do any better than the bobcat, and the rain was a help, and the clay soil which is already dense. A larger compactor won't fit in a pool excavation. If anything, you could consider...

Thanks ya'll, been reading up. TF100 kit order placed. This is what I have to use in the meantime, no cya test yet. I have salt test strips as well.

Those robots are more affordable than I thought, I think we'll know after next season if it's a must. We're in the country so lots of bugs and pollen, but we don't have any leaves nearby. We're covering the entire area in hardscape to avoid mowing or trimming near the pool. I was surprised...

Just the attachment, but I like automation because I'm lazy so the house is high tech...which means I guess I'll be shopping for a pool robot now lol. Doing it the old fashioned way for awhile might make us appreciate that purchase a little more. Any suggestions?

The pool pump was started yesterday, everything went fine. There is a lot of silt and some pea gravel in the bottom of the pool. Should I vacuum then clean the filter? Any suggestions? Since we now have power, I had a ton of fun surprising the kids with a light show last night, they knew it...

Yeeaaaaaah, the rock. I didn't elaborate on that whole detour because it was somewhat avoidable. I asked the builder to pothole the deep end before we started because I know there is rock in that area from our house excavation, which he kind of did but not deep enough. After finding rock in...

Thanks! Yes, that's a fully dedicated mullet wearer and 3rd generation rock and roll lover. 🤘

Here's the deal for the coping and surrounding areas. Local marble, sandblasted and eased edges, each stone weights 240lbs. Coming out of Phenix Marble Company north of Springfield. Also going for this grid look with artificial grass. I have a lot of grade work to do. Scheduling with my...

Sigh of relief. On to the details. Start-up day is today, 9/18. I should mention I pulled the permit so I have been responsible for inspections. And coordinating my concrete guy, electrician and pool builder coordination. Nothing super complex here but details like block-outs for the deck jets.

That was stressful. Off to the races now.

Layout, excavation, etc. Not surprisingly but unfortunately we hit two huge rocks and spent three extra days rock breaking which was of course expensive. One of the rocks was several tons and solid granite like Mt Rushmore style...very tedious. But ultimately the rest of the soil condition is...
