Broke ground today. Everything started out great. Quick excavation with no rocks or groundwater to deal with. Walls up and plumbing went in without a hitch. Then they poured the concrete footing and about 20 minutes later we had torrential rain. In addition to the heavy rain one of the...

My kids are a little too old to be enthralled by it but I'm still easily entertained. Good info on the valve though. I wonder if I should explore a waterfall instead?

Awaiting our dig date and still have time to make changes and I was thinking about deck jets. Looking at just the plain water ones. Already ruled out the Laminar because they are super expensive. Are the regular jets worth the additional install expense and punching another hole in the...

Good to know and glad to hear. All the pictures I've seen online it's hard to tell. I agree. They just kill the flow and it's like putting a license plate on the front of a sports car.

Good to know. Thanks. Decisions, decisions.

The lower terrain on the right is the natural lay of the land. The house was artificially elevated during the overall subdivision grading. Savings somewhere around $600 and cost is not the driving factor. Given the drop-off behind I was thinking I'd like the look of less decking as kind of a...

Pool will be an 18x30 and as you can see from my totally not-to-scale and very poorly illustrated diagram, the yard slopes out on the back end furthest from the house. The "backside" of the pool will not be the primary lounge area so I was hoping to do minimal decking around that far end. The...
