    My backyard paradise

    I had wanted a hammock for such a long time. My kids finally got me one a few years ago with the stand but was too big for the patio, so had to come up with a new idea, and came up with this. My hubbie built it one day I was at work. Love it so much!

    My backyard paradise

    We took out all the existing bricks, dug down about 2 to 3 ft, layed down rock, then installed what's called a uni- lock brick that is permeable so no standing water on the deck. Had a cousins son help who is starting his own landscape business. Was hard work, but well worth the effort.

    Pergola Build for Hammock

    This is the site I found to build it. "Dfohome.com" Has step by step instructions and exactly what to puchase. We did our posts just under 12 ft apart as that is all the room we had. Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk

    Going Topless - Too Much Chlorine Loss? Should CYA Be Raised? Or Not a Good Idea?

    I get sun on my pool from about 10am until about 6pm. I probably lose about 2 to 3 CL per day. My pool does not get as much use as it use to. Kids are getting older and off doing their own thing, so I am usually the only one who is using it. And it hasn't been the warmest summer just yet in...

    Going Topless - Too Much Chlorine Loss? Should CYA Be Raised? Or Not a Good Idea?

    My pool is topless. I am in the Chicagoland area. My biggest issue is the cotton flying the whole month of June. Have to do alot of skimming, but otherwise my pool stays clean and sparkly. My cya is 30 and I keep my FC at 4. I use 12.5% liquid chlorine and use about a gallon every 3 days...

    Were my pool stairs installed properly?

    That doesn't look finished for sure. I would not be happy with that.

    liner lock

    Ours might have a bit more room. I do remember it was not easy to get it in all the way. Remembering back, he might have used the rubber end of the hammer to hold it in place and then hit the top of the hammer with the mallet.
