    In-desk basketball hoop - salt corroded the pole: replacement?

    I have a basketball set that fits into a hole in my cool deck. Since I have a salt pool, it has corroded through the metal on the pole that holds up the backboard. I'm trying to find a replacement, but for the life of me, I am unable to. Nothing at Home Depot. Doesn't need to be specific to...

    Options for fixing/refinishing my built-in pool "rock slide" (PICS)

    As it's getting close to opening the pool here in AZ, our slide needs some attention. I have tried to find some resources in the past to re-do the coating, but they all seem to fizzle out; no follow-ups, no call-backs, etc. So here I am again with swimming season upon me and have an unusable...

    Getting non-floating, non-sinking leaves out - ugh!

    So, we have a Palo Verde (Desert Museum) in the vicinity of our pool. It offers nice shade, and I can deal with the blossoms for 3 weeks of the year, but the little tiny "leaves" is drops are another story. They are very small - probably 1/8 of an inch in size and they don't float at the top...
