We are completing the renovation on our pool originally started in 2020. Some finishing touches we'd like to put in are a bluetooth receiver/amplifier and four outdoor speakers and another wireless router or wifi extender to use for streaming media. Every internet search I've done so far ends up...

Just wanted to post a follow up to my original post from March. After labor shortages, equipment delays, uncooperative weather and a 3.5 week SLAM my pool renovation is finally complete. The original wood fencing was replaced with powder coated aluminum last fall. Now gone are the single speed...

I'm in the middle of a delayed refurbishing of my pool area. Currently I've had a new fence installed and will be replacing all mechanicals and restoring a return that failed a few years ago. After that the concrete will go in and hopefully everything will work fine for years to come. Before...
